Reviews

[Jessica Burstrem]

Another cute, colorful book that is casually positive about cleaning up and why one would want to do so!

Monster decides to clean house in case people want to come over to take a bath or have dinner. He also reads a book "All About Monsters." I would think he would already know all about monsters, and would need to read a book all about people instead, because people don't usually stop by to take a bath.
