Reviews

[Paul Warner]

Cute book with great illustrations, and worth reading just to see if you can spot the little monster who seems to be flipping off the idea of going to bed. :)

[Cleo Jones]

A lovely book for young children who are learning their ABC's. It is packed full of lovely images, each page containing one image and a letter per page. There are various monsters included but they are friendly colourful ones which young children will love as they engage in the activities.

Cute, not scary monsters, reinforces the alphabet

[Sara]

Entertaining illustrations of various non-threatening monsters providing goofy sounds as an alternative to typical alphabet books.

This is a book that should be read to young children by adults with some ability to create sound effects. For each letter of the alphabet, the reader is given a sound, such as “Vroom” for “v” and “Wheeeee” for “w.” The main characters are rats with a large green dragon, they engage in activities and often utter the sounds.
There are images for each letter, one image and letter per page. The images are detailed and attractive, with just the right level of coloration for young eyes. Most of the activities take place in the house, although a few are outside, along the house or in the yard, locations where the young “reader” will understand and recognize.
This is an excellent book for the child that is just starting out in learning their ABC’s. There are monsters, but all are of the friendly, comfortable variety.
