Andrew's Amazing Monsters

I have been reading this to my children for years and they have adored it. I now have a 2-year-old who selects it over all other books to be read to her. I love the "lesson" in the beginning that points out to little ones that Andrew's crayons ONLY WORK ON PAPER, for those of us who have children who like to color walls, tables, themselves, the dog.... SUPER book, SUPER-colorful, illustrations. I'm tired of ordering it from the library. I'm getting my own copy NOW!

I first picked this book out from our public library because my son Alex loves to talk about monsters. The author brought the monsters to life, and allow the little boy to play and party with his monsters. This book is good especially for kids who are afraid of monsters, since it gives the kids control: telling the monsters to go to sleep and ordering them to stay on the paper. It also allows the kids to have fun with the monsters, again decreasing the fear factor and giving permission for fantasy.
