Why read it?

1 author picked There's a Monster in Your Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is super interactive, and the illustrations are so creative; they really bring the book to life. My son giggles every time I pretend to be searching for the monster in our room and then call him back into the book.

I think it’s great for language development–the story is simple but interesting enough that I don’t mind that I have to read it twice every night!
