I read this cute little book to my would be nephew Stockton.
He is such a cutie and loves listening to books and of course I love reading them, to anyone who will listen.

This book is about a little monster who is jealous of his brother and sister.

I loved this quote ..."Each is my favorite because each is frightfully, delightfully different. I love each the most but not the same."

My DH thought this was not a good book, although he did say that there was a lesson in it. :)

Harry's answer to which beastie he loves the most : "Each is my most favorite because each is frightfully, delightfully, different. I love each the most but not the same." is a simple message for siblings jealous of attention bestowed on their siblings by their parents.

Great book for showing family dynamics...even monster families!

If you have siblings this is a great book for you or your children. Sibling rivalry is common. "Who does Mama love best?" is a question ever child with siblings asks sometime - usually when some jealousy going on. This Mama Monster has the perfect answer for her son, Harry. Children will love the "everyday" situations that Harry finds himself. They will probably relate to a few, as well. Cute illustrations by Maryann Kovalski.

Cute picture book about a monster who wants to be loved the most and learns that his mama loves him in a special way, even if he's not the favorite - and that his siblings aren't her "favorite", either. Sweet and darling, a book that is good for any siblings!
