Review

Another sweet Love Monster story for preschoolers. This time Love Monster cannot fall asleep and listens to all of the night noises. As he does the size of the font changes as should the voice reading to emphasize the sounds as the imagination creates the scary thoughts of Love Monster. Very well done, text, font and illustration work very well together to show the Monster being afraid of the dark. Good use of language will help young children who are afraid of the dark to see a humorous outcome and a reason (and word) for each unknown noise heard at night in the dark. Very reassuring!

Overall Book Score: very good
