Review: It's Great to See an Author Take Not Only the Time to Write a Great Book, But the Time to Illustrate and Format Correctly Too

Unfortunately picture books that are formatted correctly for the Kindle Fire and other devices are so rarely found amongst the masses of self-published authors here on Amazon that you're really surprised when you occasionally come across one.  Monsters in My Room displays the colourful pages across the whole screen in landscape (it won't let you read it in portrait) mode.  The text is part of the colourful image.  This book just looks really good on the screen. Like you are watching some screen shots of a Pixar movie or something. The illustrations are crisp, probably computer generated I guess but fun cartoon style none the less and complement the brilliantly entertaining story about a little girl who Home Alone style has booby trapped her room (in a way most kids could safely do with stuff they'd have at home) to protect her from the monsters she is afraid of so she can get a good night's sleep.  For example she's got night lights because vampires are scared of the sun, or since her dog likes to unroll toilet paper, she has him sleep at her feet as he'll take care of any mummy's that come to visit.I've read a few of this author's other books and this is by the far the best of them.
