The Monster Who Loved Books

by Keith Faulkner, Jonny Lambert (Illustrations)

Kids of all ages will eat up this pop-up book about a monster who loves books.

"Had Bradley really met a monster? A monster who loved books?"

When Bradley finds half-eaten books in his father's store, he knows something strange is happening. But he never expects to discover a monster in the store--a monster who loves books. Eating them and reading them! Bradley and the monster are even more surprised to find that they share the same taste in books.

An okay book but gets an extra star for the pop-ups.

Meh. I did not click with this one. A book to teach a monster to appreciate books (for reading rather than eating) but then choosing only books that are too noisy, too scary, too... whatever... The message seems to be that perhaps it is better to eat them than read them after all (?).
