IF YOUR CHILD LIKED "HARRY POTTER" BOOKS OR MOVIES THAN THEY WILL LOVE THIS AWESOME CLASSIC. A TYPICAL BOY TANTRUM AND MOM'S TIME OUT SENDS MAX INTO ANOTHER WORLD. WHERE HE BECOMES A MONSTER.

THE MOSTER GRAFFICS OF THE ARTIST ARE SCARY AND COOL TO LITTLE BOYS. AND THEY LIKE THE NO RULES BAD BOY.MY BROTHER LOVED THIS STORY. IT REALLY BUILDS IMAGINATION INTO KIDS MINDS. FOR WEEKS HE SWORE AT NIGHT HE WENT INTO HIS CLOSET TO BECOME PART OF HIS MONSTER FAMILY.HA! HA! (MOM AND I STILL GIGGLE ABOUT IT) MOM COULD NOT HAVE HIM LIVING WITH ANOTHER FAMILY EVEN AT NIGHT. SO, SHE TOOK GLITTER AND THREW IT AROUND THE ROOM MUMBLING "BIBITY BOBBITY BOO",THEN SHE TOOK OUT HER OLD FAIRY BOOK AND PUT HER HAND ON IT AND CURSED THEM ALL OUT OF HIS ROOM! IT WORKED!!!! HEE HEE...THE MONSTERS WERE GONE IN THE MORNING. HE SEEMED TO MISS THE POINT,BUT HE WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.YEARS LATER HE GOT A MONSTER PILLOW FROM THE BOOK. AND CAME TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE MORAL OF THIS FANTASTIC STORY...
