This is a sweet book with great lessons. I love it that the mother is respectful of the child in her speech and when she is mistaken. I also felt like the child is then respectful and generous to the monster. Well done in pictures and words to the author and his collaborators!
Young kids love repetition (How many times has your child read or listened to the same book?). In this story, the reader/listener hears Mother's assurances that there are no monsters; but the children SEE the hiding monster. This is delicious fun for younger kids: Mom is right there to protect her child but the monster IS there. Michael Yu cleverly illustrates the monster in tones of soft purple. Children may wonder if this monster is a friend or a fearsome enemy; but the author never lets the monster seem too scary.When the child and his mother see the monster crying, they know that this monster needs help. In spite of all the bad press about monsters, the child knows that he is safe and he can help his new friend.
There's no such thing as Monsters is the nightly monster checking of under the bed, in the closet, and on the shelf of objects that in the dark look like monsters.I love the back and forth between the child and the mom. It's cute and very typical of a night routine that so many parents do in some form or fashion with their kids.My only con to this book on the kindle is the sync to beginning is three pages into the story itself.When my daughter went through the things that go bump in the night phase, this book was quirky enough to make her laugh. It's simple and sweet and great for a kid who knows basic sight words as the mother repeats her mantra a few times.
There's No Such Thing As Monsters storyline wise is fairly basic compared to some of the author's other picture books. But like most of his other work, time has again been taken to not only produce high quality illustrations, but to format the book correctly so the pictures and words appear together on the screen like they would in a physical picture book. This book displays in landscape mode, you can't read it in portrait. A very basic but effective storyline of a little kid in bed not wanting his mother to leave him alone scared pointing out various glimpses of bits of monsters he can see, and his mother proving they are items of clothing or toys. The second half kind of contradicts the first half and not real sure what the message is other than, there's no need to be afraid of monsters. But you kind of would want a kid to be afraid of a large creature or worse a human who has somehow gotten into the house and is hiding in his room. Contradicts safety messages particularly stranger danger a little bit. As long as you had a conversation afterwards that if anything or anyone ever is actually in your room scream and run to your parents immediately, I think this book can be enjoyed for the fantasy it is.
We stumbled upon this book when browsing for new bed time stories for my 3yo. He is now into monsters and Dragons and such things. He loved the illustrations! And kept asking questions about what would happen next. We have found only few books with a good story, a message and nice drawings, but thanks to this book now we are Michael Yu fans. Please keep writing!!
when my children hit the monster stage i found this book. I have read it to them every night since. they love it! our new montra at bedtime is "Its time for sleep, its time for bed, there is no such thing as monsters. Its all in your head"
This was a good little bedtime book. It's about how children see monsters in the most mundane objects at night. Ordinary things are scary when combined with the night. The story is not long or complicated. It had a nice rhyming prose and kept my little one engaged the whole time. The pictures were clear and the words were not too small. I really liked it and the book gave me a chance to use different voices without difficulty. It had a 2 thumbs up for my 3 year old son, who said and I quote, "I can go to sleep now." with a smile on his face. :)
Great story. Bought it for my 3 year old grandson as he is afraid of monsters in his bedroom. This story was perfect. We read it every time he stays with us. Sometimes he asks to read it more than once!
