review 1: A nearly wordless picture book showcasing monsters navigating friendships.Each page includes one word which describes the action of the vibrant artwork set against black pages.The monsters aren't terrifying which makes this a title that would be appropriate for preschoolers and the nearly wordless nature of this book makes it possible for pre-readers to describe the action of the text based on their reading of the pictures and any stories the action might encourage in their imaginations.
review 2: I just barely discovered this author's book "Happy" (and read it in storytime this week!). So it was fun to read this book in the similar style. I really enjoy the pictures and how expressive she is able to make them in chalk drawings. I adore the "cuddle" picture.10/... more16/13: Used in my Friends theme. It worked, but not as well as "Happy." Still, with the smaller group it's OK when I have to pause to explain what "embarrass" means. Good to teach one or two new words or concepts to them, especially with such cute pictures. They liked the book, they just didn't get as in to it was the other. less
