Editorial Reviews

Review

"Armstrong-Ellis fills the page with slime and sludge, and careful readers will even spy monster-themed parodies of works from da Vinci, Cassatt, George Rodrigue, and other artists." (Publishers Weekly)

"This is an unconventional book about mothers and love that kids, especially boys, will cherish. Written in a narrative poetry style with colorful glossy pictures, this book offers many examples of couplets. Short passages, filled with gross humor on each page, make it an attention-grabber for early readers; rich vocabulary makes it a super silly read-aloud for older students." (School Library Connection)

About the Author

Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis is the author and illustrator of Ten Creepy Monsters and the illustrator of the bestselling Twelve Days of Kindergarten series and The Spelling Bee Before Recess. She lives in Cape Neddick, Maine.

I gave this book to my great nephew on his third birthday and we’re still talking about and quoting this book at his 4th birthday, he LOVES it! The silly story and captivating illustrations grabbed him from the beginning. I highly recommend this book.

I love this book for the story and the illustrations! She has a delightful sense of humor. My grandson and I love reading together and he knows more and more words himself. I look forward to Carey Armstrong-Ellis books and bought the older ones I didn't have through Amazon. They are treasures!

This is one of my 5yo daughter's favorite books. We've learned all sorts of new (and revolting!) words during our many reads of this together.
Words you'll likely never come across in a picture book, but worth knowing and giggling over! Carey's fun and fabulous art gives you so much to look for on re-reads. We love our moldy ham!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017
Monsters aren’t always scary. In fact, some of them are downright sweet!

The narrator compared the love he had for his mother to all kinds of disgusting things, from boogers to sweaty feet. Reading about all of the strange items he were collecting as he talked about his feelings for his mom made me really curious to know what he was planning to do with all of it. The longer the list grew, the more impatient I became to see how it would all turn out.

I would have liked to see the main character be given a name at some point. While I definitely liked the fact that this character was relatable to both boys and girls, it felt odd to me to read about a friendly little monster without knowing something as basic as what his mom called him. They had such a special relationship that I would have loved to know that detail about him.

One of my favorite parts of this story was how much effort the writer put into rhyming words that I never would have thought to stick together. They were pretty clever, and they made it impossible for me to stop reading. While some of those words will probably be unfamiliar for this age group, there were plenty of clues in the illustrations and other parts of the rhyme to help them figure out it.

I Love You More Than Moldy Ham made me giggle. It should be read by anyone who is in the mood to get a little grossed out while talking about love.
