Review: Nice Very Short Rhyming Picture Book
Rating: 4 out of 5

There's a Monster in My Bed is a very short, only 9 pages long rhyming tale about a little girl who is freaking out because she brushed up against something furry under the covers with her feet.  She of course assumes it's a monster. The story although short, is very well written.  The illustrations are also well done, however they do give away a lot earlier on than the text does, what the monster is, which lets down the surprise revelation ending factor.  Also for some reason there are a lot of blank (white) pages in the Kindle book download between the 9 pages.  Not sure if they couldn't load some pages properly and if it is missing some, but the story still works well as is with the 9 pages that are there.Recently I read an adult short story which had a wife waking up in the same situation but with a different outcomeRude Awakening.  That one's obviously for kids a bit older than the target market of this one though. Or for the parents to read after they've tucked in their own kids, read this to them and turned out the lights.
