  • Daughter loves it

    My five year old brings his book home a lot from her school library so I decided to get her her own copy. The book I got was used but it was in a decent condition and my daughter will cherish it. It makes her feel a lot less worried about "monsters". The graphics, storyline and the cut outs are great.

  • Great book

    This is a cool book. My granddaughter loved it when our library read it for story time so I ordered it for her. It's simple enough for a two year old, but older kids enjoy it, too.

  • Top-notch tale for little ones

    Delightful tale for ages 2-5. Terrific simple-shape and bright color artwork attracts all kids. The wonderful tale gives each child the opportunity to control fearful "monsters." They enjoy it again & again. Watch the vulnerable nose!

  • Recieved torn

    Several pages were torn & a few were poorly taped to try and repair it. Other pages were just left torn. Very sad since this went to a preschool class.
