This is a fun book to read with kids. I had to read it a couple of times changing my voice for noises, holding our noses and laughing quite hard. The illustrations run from cute to a little gross which kids absolutely love. If you can not interact with this book when reading it, you will not enjoy it, you need to let loose and have fun. As the title warns readers, this book is full of monsters. Scary, gross, smelly monsters. If you make it to the end without shutting the book, you get a Diploma of Bravery which my grandson thought I should be able to print out for him. I know this is one we would read over and over. A great book for school libraries, families and classrooms. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

I have an 8 yr old who LOVES all things monsters so we read this together and she thought it was great. The illustrations captured the fun and spookiness of this story perfectly.

The way this story is written comes off more conversationalist which makes it GREAT to read aloud especially if you do spooky voices to entertain your kids! My daughter and I had lots of laughs together as we engaged in the story; she roared so loud at one point as it directs you to in the story she scared the cat who took off running, lol!

As a parent my favorite part was the Diploma of Bravery you ‘earn’ at the end for managing to survive the monster test by finishing the book. It made my daughter so happy and she told me now she wasn’t afraid of monsters anymore because she’s brave since she passed the test. I thought overall it was an adorable story and perfect for bedtime; I can see this being popular at Halloween.

The ultimate judge was my kiddo and she gives this a fantastic review :-) ( )

Very colorful illustrations of some not-so-scary monsters combined with all sorts of text daring you to turn the next page if you're not too afraid. Actually, better than it sounds, mostly because of the illustrations. Nice ending, also. ( )

I am not sure why it will only let me choose Hardcover as I read it on my kindle but no matter. I read this book to my 6 year old son and he found it a lot of fun and very funny. I think the book should probably be read using hardcover or paper back because nothing beats actually turning the pages of a book and I think the drawings will show up better on paper. Young children who love monsters and silly books will definitely love this one. Highly recommended. ( )
