What I Can Tell You:
As I was reading it to Goddess I changed my voice to do the parts as I would do with all kids books. By page 5 I was unsure if this book would be too scary for her. (and people said that this monster liked nothing better in the world than to scare little children) it was after all our bedtime story. I almost closed the book. Even the graphics on this page were a little odd for a children's book. How would it end? I trudged along figuring I would lighten up my voice and add humor when the brave boy spoke. It worked. We were both riveted. I wanted to know how it would end as much as she did.
The ending when we finally find out what the monster is.....makes up for the nervousness I felt at the beginning.
This is a really smart book. Very well done. Well written and unlike anything else I have read.
This is in fact the first book Goddess has decided to review for our local library. She is 5 so the review is just one sentence but it sums it all up.

We have been researching traditional creepy, crawly Halloween creatures like spiders, bats, toads, etc.
