Furball, the yeti is excited to be attending Monster School. He is ready to learn how to be the "scariest" monster. However, all the other monsters and teachers do not take Furball seriously. In fact, they all "bully" Furball.

One day while in a tree to retrieve a ball, Furball finds himself launched through the air into the next school yard. It is there that he meets Howler, the werewolf. Howler tells Furball, he does not want to be the scariest/mean monster but a nice one. He will help him turn Monster School into a nice school.

No one including monsters and teachers can resist a party. It just goes to show "Sometimes it takes little ones like you to make the world a better place. It just goes to show...Little Monsters Rule!

This is a fun book. I would rate the reading level as a medium. My niece who is nine was able to read with minimal assistance on the words. This is a book that readers will want to read again and again. Love Furball and Howler.

First, I liked the artwork a lot. Bright, colourful, big pictures on the page, somewhat cartoonish, if I were a child I'd be thinking woo hoo! (And they are the target market. As much as I myself like subtle, elegant, understated, I can give props to other approaches when they're deserved).

But I thought the message/story was pat and unbelievable, and if put into application by a child, doomed to failure. So that bothers me. I'd rather read stories where the characters just do things, and we don't have to walk away from the book feeling that was the right thing to do, as if it were still the Victorian age and all books required morals. I'm more of an Alice-in-Wonderland fan, and want to read about fun and interesting things that happen, with no sense that the behaviour should be copied and emulated.

Read more of my ramblings at my blog The Wunsapon.
