I Read What You Write

Goodnight, Monsters is truly adorable. In this made for bedtime book, movie monsters are rendered inert and comical with colorful illustrations that blend cartoon with photographic backgrounds. I have to admit some of the rhyming pairs took a bit of deciphering on my part and I am still not certain about a couple of them. I do however have to give a huge hand to a kid’s book that not only manages to use the word denizen in a sentence, but finds a way to make it rhyme with skeleton.

This book advertises itself as being for kids ages 1-6. I can agree with this. Younger kids will seriously enjoy the illustrations and the fun of having it read to them and older kids won’t realize that their reading skills are being tested by words not typically in their vocabularies. There is a PDF companion coloring book available that should reinforce both the bedtime message and word play.
