Review: I can see the appeal, but not for me.

I struggled with this book to be honest. I wanted to like it, and I wanted to really see the appeal but there is something missing for me.The story follows Billy who makes up his friend 'Monster' and blames monster for 'farting' when it is, in fact, Billy doing the farting.I would like to have seen more about Billy having an imaginary friend (something that I suspect many young children do) and maybe some moral lessons about how you shouldn't blame your behavior on others.That said, I guess you could follow up the story with life lessons with your child anyway after reading the book.The book is colourful and the illustrations are nice too. I read this on the kindle for ipad app, so I am not sure how it would work on the older (black and white) kindle models, but then I guess a young child probably wouldn't find the older kindle models as engaging?Sarah Burns ~ On Behalf of the Kindle Book Review
