Why read it?
1 author picked Monster Goose as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Judy Sierra, author of Wild About Books, is a brilliant rhymer. With a spot-on meter, witty wordplay, and humor, she creates enchanting poems. Monster Goose is a hilarious, slightly eerie but fun poetry collection featuring well-known nursery rhyme characters. The short verses, some of which are a bit gory, are sure to elicit some playful “yuks” and “eews.” Jack E. Davis’s illustrations are a perfect match with their googly-eyed, silly characters.
From Iza's list on rhyming Halloween books for children.
