Synopsis

No monster wants you to read this book. The more you know about monsters, the more you will know how to defeat them.

Little kids have big fears, which they often imagine to be scary creatures, like monsters. But this book helps explain how knowing “Monster Facts” can help kids outwit them.

Want to avoid monsters?

Fact: Monsters love dirt and grime, so when faced with two kids, the monster will choose the dirty one every time.

And if toys and clothes are all over the floor, you may get ambushed by a mess-loving monster.

Survival Tip: Take baths and keep your room clean.

Smarter Than a Monster will arm young readers with practical advice in this innovative and imaginative parenting tool that teaches common sense and positive and healthy habits.

Review

I loved this book!  It is written to engage children in combatting their fears of monsters but at the same time encouraging them to be clean and tidy to keep the monsters away.  Genius!

This would be a great book to read together at bedtime and makes me wish I had a little one to read to at night.

I love the illustrations.  The monsters and other characters are very colorful and make for a rich feeling book.

We give this book 5 paws up and recommend it to anyone with a young child especially if they are afraid of monsters.  This book might just help them overcome that fear.
