Review: Impessive Detail In Both Illustrations & Descriptions-Not Your Typical Alaphabet Book

While this was not intended to be a learn your ABC's book, I will say that putting emphasis on the letters both before and after each monster entry helped keep my 3 year old engaged. It is a fun way of introducing the alphabet to young children. My 3 year old was also able to wait for me to read the fairly long description of each monster before seeing the actual drawing of the monster. None of the monsters are scary enough to frighten children and they are not cute cartoony looking creatures either. In fact, I was impressed by the detail in both the illustrations and the descriptions of each monster. I would recommend when reading aloud that you keep it light, fun, and airy- as some of the descriptive behavior might be enticing for young ones to try. I wouldn't want my lil one to scrub their face with chocolate and chew on soap, as one monster in the book did. As long as the little ones know it is all in fun and make believe I see no issue with it.Again, not intended to be a teaching book of the alphabet- it is still going to be a fun book to read to all my kids.
