Christmas Book Review - Have You Seen My Monster

When my grandsons were younger I reviewed the book, Have You Seen My Dragon?, and they loved it! So, when I saw Candlewick Press had another book - Have You Seen My Monster?, by Steve Light, I knew I had to review it for my Christmas Book Review, so if you are a grandma (or grandpa/parent) who gives books for gifts to the children you love at Christmas, you would be able to learn about this fantastic new story!

Favorite Features -

• Fun story which helps children learn all kinds of shapes!
• Children will absolutely have fun finding the monster on each page as the child in the story works their way through the fair
• Fantastic drawings - mostly in black and white with fun splashes of color add to the enjoyment of this book.
• Encourages imagination, learning, and lots and LOTS of fun!

Candlewick Press says, "In a follow-up to Steve Light’s highly praised Have You Seen My Dragon?, the county fair is filled with shapes—and somewhere among them a monster is waiting to be found. A little girl gallivants through a county fair, searching for her furry friend. Readers will surely spot the friendly monster as well as twenty shapes, identified here by their proper names—trapezoids, ellipses, kites, and more—hidden among iconic fair attractions from the fun house to the Ferris wheel. Maybe the monster is judging the pies? Or perhaps he’s at the monster-truck rally? Youngsters will be so mesmerized by Steve Light’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations, decorated with vivid splashes of color, they won’t even realize they’ve learned how to spot a nonagon while looking for a monster."

I love Have You Seen My Monster?, and am certain the young children you love will as well! I know my grandsons would if they were younger. This fun book is found at the following link.
