Our Review

This vibrantly illustrated story introduces a monster who takes immense pride in his ability to perfectly frighten children, making it a surprisingly gentle exploration of a common childhood fear. The narrative cleverly subverts expectations when the monster encounters a little girl who remains completely unfazed by his scariest antics, creating a delightful and suspenseful turn of events. This setup provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss bravery and emotions with preschoolers, transforming a potentially scary topic into an engaging, character-driven tale. The bold, colorful artwork will capture a young child's attention, making the monster more amusing than alarming.

What makes this book distinctive is its focus on the monster's perspective and his resulting confusion, which adds a layer of humor and empathy to the story. It’s an excellent choice for children who are navigating nighttime anxieties or who enjoy stories with a playful, unexpected twist. The simple, direct language and relatable scenario make it highly accessible for a 3- to 5-year-old audience, perfect for a read-aloud session. Ultimately, this charming story delivers a reassuring message about courage and perception that will leave both children and parents feeling empowered.
