Editorial Reviews

Review

Monsters are everywhere, so it's certainly a good thing that the little boy in The Monster in My Closet is not afraid of them. In fact, they're his friends. He introduces us to the various monsters that inhabit his home and neighborhood. These monsters really are friendly. They pay hide 'n seek, play pirates in the bathtub, and fix an awesome lunch. The Monster in My Closet may give your child a new perspective on the monster under his bed or in the closet. Certainly, Eric Klug knows a thing or two about monsters. His illustrations provide an array of disgusting, silly, and sometimes slightly pathetic monsters. The Monster in My Closet has definite read-it-again potential. --ChildrensPictureBook.info (May 2007)

This review is from: The Monster in My Closet (Hardcover)

I checked out this book at my sister's house at a family gathering. I was impressed by Klug's interesting use of color and shade is his style of illustration. The story is a great monster-under-the-bed tale which is great for kids reaching that imaginative age, and the story is a real page-turner (well, for kids!).

Wonderfully engaging illustrations of monsters from everywhere make it clear to young readers that monsters can be friendly, funny, and helpful. The simple rhyming text uses humor to change fears to fun. A perfect nighttime story for any kid who wants a smile and a chuckle before falling asleep!
