The author sent When Monsters Come Out to Play to me with no request for review. This review reflects my honest opinion of this children's book.When Monsters Come Out to Play empowers children to overcome their fear of monsters in the night. First she makes the monsters soft and fuzzy, gives them big eyes and with the bright funny illustrations and telling the children that if they smile at the monsters the monsters will turn into friends. It gives young children a positive way to face their fears and learn to control them. The rhyming adds an element of fun and language understanding as the child hears how words sound alike. The adult reader can enforce this by asking what words sound alike at the end and helping the child hear the rhymes.This book offers the reader many opportunities to expand the child's reading experiences and learn new concepts about the world and language.
