3.0 out of 5 stars Too long for very young children, February 14, 2002

By	Trivimp (Warrensburg, MO USA) - See all my reviews

My pet peeve among children's books is when they are too darn LONG. It takes forever to read this one aloud as it is written, and my 4-year-old gets pretty bored. (Of course, your four-year-old's mileage may vary.) I usually make up a short, one or two sentence synopsis for each page, and "read" that instead of the long paragraph.

Also the illustrations are just, well, funky-looking. They've got a strange, hard-edge, shadowy look that's nothing like the movie. The writers would have done a lot better to stick to movie cels, or else lighter, brighter caricatures.

This one ended up in the "hardly ever read it" pile.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 5 Star Monster Story, November 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Monsters, Inc.: A Junior Novelization (Paperback)

Monsters Inc. is about monsters trying to scare every child in the human world. The monsters go through doors to each child's closet door. They scare the children and collect the children's screams for energy to run the monster world. All the monsters are afraid of the children because they think they are toxic. Everything goes wrong when a little girl named Boo gets out of the human world. Sulley and Mike are best friends. At first they are afraid of Boo, but Sulley becomes like a kitty to Boo. Sulley and Mike help each other to get Boo out of the monster world. I liked the book when Boo sneezed on Mike. Then Mike sprayed disinfectant spray in his eye when was going spray it on his arm. After he sprayed his eye he covered his eye, stomped his foot and he screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I also liked it when Mike and Sulley went through the door and wound up in the long corridor passageway. They wound up on a mountain where it was snowing up above were they live. The book was so good that I want to see the movie right away. I want my family to be the first three people in the theater

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For Little Monsters Inc. Fans, May 28, 2008

This review is from: Monsters, Inc. (Read-Aloud Board Book) (Board book)

My 1 & 1/2 year old loves Monsters Inc. and he loves reading books so this was a no brainer. It reads very much like Finding Nemo (Read-Aloud Board Book), but is easier to understand. I found that the Nemo book has spotty english at times. This book does not suffer the same fate. It has great pictures form the movie as well.
