Monster, Be Good! Hardcover – February 26, 2013

I've been told she likes it.

My daughter is now two but this is her absolute, hands down, FAVORITE BOOK!! She reads it every day, several times a day. Yes- SHE reads it because she has memorized it lol to me, her Abby Caddaby, Elmo, and Bear, her daddy, her grandparents before bed on FaceTime.... Even during potty training when she alternates between her beloved Abby potty book. This book has helped me teach her about being quiet instead of her earth shattering Mariah Carey screech in public places, how it hurts friends feelings to not share and be mean, and her favorite.... How to startle people. But hey- at least she says boo now instead of creeping up on people like a 25 lb ninja.

Monster, Be Good! by Natalie MarshallRecommended Ages 2-7Monsters are often on the minds of youngsters, some love them and others are afraid of what they may do. This bold and brightly colored book shows children that they are in the driver's seat. If a monster does something they don't like, they have the power to change it. Using witty and concise sentences this story has the right combination of information and humor. The expressive monsters placed in foreground of flamboyant patterns kept my 2 and 3-year-old classes engrossed from cover to cover. Sometimes monsters and people don't share and won't go to bed. This book teaches children we all can all act beastly, but there are good ways to deal with it. Fans of Jane Yolen's "How Do Dinosaurs" series will love this one for their younger children. : [...]

We love this book. It does a great job of showing kids how to control their fears and behavior without being preachy. The pictures are great. My son is only 15 months old but he already loves the pictures and often picks it up and "reads" it on his own.

This book is short, a little boring, but the illustrations are fun.

One of my son’s favorite books!

My daughter loves this book we read it every night

Este libro me encanta, lo cogíamos en español en la biblioteca y a mi hijo de 3 años le gusta mucho tratar el tema monstruos por los miedos que le infunde etc y aquí se ríe un poco de ellos y de paso repasamos el ingles.
