About:
Do you like smearing your lunch all over yourself? Do you fight with your sister just because she's there? Do you find yourself unable to go to bed because mysterious ninjas keep stealing your pajamas? Then you're a little monster! Guess what: Mom can be a monster too! It's up to you to make your mom's monster come out to play . . .
My Thoughts:
My boys enjoy monster books very much and How to Turn Your Mom into a Monster was
a cute, tongue in cheek story that captured their interest and had them
giggling and often times saying “uh-oh” with big wide eyes. This is a story
about a child who is trying to turn his mom into a monster before he goes to
bed and does so with some questionable and hilarious means. As I read to my
boys I was pleased to hear that neither one would attempt to turn me into a
monster in the ways the book suggested.
They agreed they had their own tricks for that…
The illustrations are lavish and brilliantly colored and
pull both young and old into the story. The favorite part for both boys was the
“Reason Chart” for why they can’t go to sleep. They enjoyed the poll like
reasons as to why they could not possibly go to bed and often go back to that page
to get more reasons.
This was a fun, albeit a bit scary read for a mom, which in
a roundabout way shows just how much a child wants to spend time with their
parent. And monsters are cool.
I received a copy of this book for free. I was not required
