Five Ugly Monsters
PreSchool-Grade 1?Although there's been a change in cast in this familiar rhyme, jumping on the bed continues to be a hazardous activity. Arnold's colorful cartoon monsters bounce on the bed until "one falls off and bumps its head." The doctor's advice is, of course, to stop bouncing. With each casualty the type and color of monster changes. This somewhat diffuses the cumulative effect and the heady thrill of disobeying the doctor. It does give the illustrator the opportunity to create five different sorts of affable creatures. Colorful illustrations, a silly verse, and a bold boy who finally takes charge come together here for a happy though brief story time read-aloud.?Jody McCoy, Casady School, Oklahoma CityCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
