{My thoughts} – I’d like to say its your typical classroom, but it kind of is and it isn’t. You have a Mummy for a teacher and all your peers including yourself are monster children. It’s actually a rather cute little book, that I think is ideal to be read around Halloween.
The words and the illustration match the book perfectly. I like that it has a nice little lesson within it’s pages about acceptance and understanding. I also enjoyed the overall interaction between each of the characters within the book while trying to find the missing tooth. I like that the monster children worked together in an attempt to find it and then the monster child that was least likely to find it did.
I think that any child could enjoy this book. Especially if they have huge imaginations and enjoy reading about monsters.… (more)
