Well, there are a few interesting differences, not the least of which is what HaveSomeShawarma mentioned before me.
"Beasts" encompasses a wider scale than "monsters," which is pretty much a subcategory. For example, a bowtruckle is a beast, but I doubt anyone would consider it a "monster."
Perhaps more important is the point of each book: Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts focuses more on the basic nature and appearance of the beasts within the book, whereas Edwardus Lima's Monster Book is more to teach the proper care of monsters.

Fantastic beast tells you where to find them simple as that

Two completely different books. As Liam said, the Monster Book of Monsters encompasses how to care for magicla creatures, specifically monsters (however it has other animals) whereas Fantastic Beasts is a reference guide to every creature JK Rowling ever dreamed up, rating them on a scale of X-XXXXX.

It's not just about monsters, like, a demiguise isn't a monster, neither is a niffler.
