Great for teachers!
I use this book as a way to teach my first graders describing words/adjectives. Each page in the story as at least 2 describing words for the kids to identify such as color, shape, and feeling words. The kids then draw their own monsters (I give them wiggly eyes) and writing to share. A fun activity for sure!

Awesome book for dealing with "monsters"
This book is the most wonderful when it comes to dealing with the "monster" anywhere in the house. My daughter had it read to her in daycare and she made her own monster and then said "Go away Big Green Monster". Watching her read it to me is so adorable. Her eyes light up when I bring it to her for reading time.

An Early Literacy Advocate's Dream
This book has easy to remember text and is perfect for reading aloud. Children can "read" along and feel proud that they have power over the monster. My co-workers and I have used this book in preschool, PreK, and even younger classrooms.

Reading this book aloud is beneficial because it helps children learn the connections between pictures and words. It also shows them that reading is fun, and can be a starting point for a lifetime of reading.

My daughter received it for Xmas when she was 1 year old, and she's loved it ever since. I think she has always understood that it was pretend, and she enjoyed being in charge of the monster.

Bravo Bravo!!
I cannot say enough good things. My children love it. My childrens' spanish class loves it. My childrens' preschool class loved it -- and that made ME a very popular mom on the day it was my turn to read them a story. The children want to hear it again and again. My very young children learned to read the words after memorizing the book. It is that good. I don't get tired of reading it with the SHRIEKS of laughter I earn!

My daughter loved this book when she was young
When my daughter was very young, I checked this book out of the library and read it to her many times. She marveled at the creation of the big green monster by the turning of the pages. It starts with the two big yellow eyes, then a long bluish-greenish nose and ends with a monster. Then, the process is reversed, and page-by-page, the monster is taken apart until nothing is left but the pupils of its' eyes. I also told my daughter that all monsters can be taken apart in this manner, all you need to know is how to do it.

Great book for little ones!
My five-year-old loves this book. He is at the stage where he is starting to read on his own and this book is perfect for that. It is also visually stimulating and helps with his nighttime fears. He will read it over and over and then ask me to read it to him! Great book!
