Almost every parent needs a positive way to talk with their very young children about the imaginary monsters that kids are convinced are real. This book will do all of that and more for you. The illustrations are bright and cheery - the monster who tells the story isn't scary at all. The best thing about this monster is that it can be a he monster or a she monster. (Equal opportunity for all.) The opening sentences set the scene for everything else that happens: "I'm a monster, but don't be scared. I just look different with my pink and yellow hair. But on the inside, I'm a lot like you. I like the same things, That regular people do."The nursery rhyme beat and colorful illustrations are charming and underscore the idea that monsters really aren't that bad. Highly recommended.
