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.

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.
