ScribbleMonster and the Crunchy, Crunchy Carrots [Paperback]

James Dague (Author), Paige A. Dague (Author)

Book Description

ScribbleMonster and the Crunchy, Crunchy Carrots contains clever line-art drawings intended to be completed by children ages one and up, thereby introducing them to the joy of art. Children complete the skeletal illustrations by scribbling over them. The book is also appropriate for older children who will enjoy the story as well as completing the illustrations in greater detail. Written by a professional counselor, the story is one of friendship: ScribbleBunny has not been eating his carrots and his eyesight begins to suffer. He is not much fun to play with anymore until his best friend, ScribbleMonster, intervenes. ScribbleMonster works to maintain their friendship by devising a plan to help ScribbleBunny learn to appreciate healthy foods. ScribbleMonster's plan consists of scaring ScribbleBunny into eating his carrots. Activities and age-appropriate questions for discussion and processing are included at the end of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scribblemonster and the Crunchy, Crunchy Carrots, October 9, 2001

The Scribblemonster series opens up a whole new avenue for promoting creativity, self-esteem and celebrating differences! In "Scribblemonster and the Crunchy, Crunchy Carrots" toddlers and pre-schoolers learn the importance of eating what is good for them. "Scribblemonster Takes A Bath" helps pre-schoolers practice their colors, recognize their skin color and appreciate their bodies.
I also love "Scribblemonster and the Broken TV". This book is so important for children because it shows kids that there is more to do than just sit and watch TV! Parents will love this book! It includes creative ideas, art expression, enthusiasm and character education. It is obvious the authors have strong values and high levels of creativity! The end of each book has questions for parents to process the several themes of the book with their child. There is also a suggested activity and game to play, which child will love!
As a social worker, I am always looking for new and thought-provoking, fun books to promote and enhance self-esteem, creativity and character education with my very young clients. The Scribblemonster series will surely be put to good use in my practice in the future!

The ScribbleMonster books are an asset to your child's library. These books are fun and entertaining. They are not the typical generic coloring book with no story. These books are wonderfully written and illustrated. Your child (and you or anyone else) gets to color the pages. The price is affordable and well worth it. Your kids will love these books. Try one....they'll want more.
