Review: An Okay Story, Could Have Rhymed Better or Been More Effective Written as a Non Rhyming Tale
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is an okay picture book that tells the story of a girl who is sick of monsters leaving a mess in her room so hangs a no monsters allowed sign on the door.  Of course they are upset over this and her conscious makes up with a compromise that makes everyone happy.  The title tells us this is a rhyming picture book which occasionally it does well, but at other times the rhymes seem forced and some sentences don't rhyme at all. Maybe the book would have worked better if it didn't try to rhyme. The illustrations are fairly good however the text is on top of the illustration which only takes up the middle third of the Kindle book page in landscape or the top half in portrait mode.  This makes the text still readable but fairly small.  Grandparents with fading eyesight or anyone one with visual difficulties may have trouble reading the book at that size.  The book would have been better for those types of readers if formatted to fit the entire page in portrait mode.
