Monsters have long been a popular theme in children's stories. There's fascination as well as fear with the evil creatures that hide in the shadows ready to pounce on innocent children and eat them. And so, a lot of children's books are about teaching kids that monsters are nothing to fear. Some stories take the approach that monsters don't really exist, that they're just figments of the imagination. Other stories, like "Monsters Are People Too," take a different approach in showing that monsters have human qualities and that they're just misunderstood and nothing to fear.In this story, the monster may look different, but on the inside, he's a lot like people, with the same interests. The illustrated story shows him doing regular human activities like swimming, playing sports, and going to school. It's a nice bedtime story for toddlers who are having trouble going to sleep because of fear of those things that go bump in the night.
