Customer Reviews

One of my favorites!

I read this book to my Story Hour kids around Halloween and Mother’s Day. It is so fun! Especially when the “Scary things come out to play”!

My Monster Mama

We love this book! It is so sweet & the pictures are wonderful! The rhythm of this book keeps my son giggling!

MONSTERS DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARY ANYMORE! THEY CAN BE FUNNY!

It's about time! I'm so glad there are books out there like this to help children see that monsters don't have to be scary! (Now parents all over the world can sleep better knowing their child won't wake them up at 2:00 am saying "there's a monster in the closet; I'm scared!" Well hey, one less thing!)Bravo to Laura Leuck and Mark Buehner! The story and the illustrations are both hiliariously entertaining! Plus I think it helps kids relate to the fact that there are lots of different and yes even unusual types of people and families but hopefully they all love each other the way THE MONSTER MAMA loves her little monster! Also it reminds me as a parent that spending QUALITY TIME with my child is what lets her know I love her! It is truly all the countless "little things" you do for your child that add up. So go bake some cookies (but hold the bugs please!)I highly recommend this book for adults as well as children! You'll both enjoy MY MONSTER MAMA LOVES ME SO, I guarantee it. Childrens' books have come a long way since I was a child! Adults can get a laugh and moral out of them too! After all, that is what books are for--to entertain and to teach.

Adorable!

This book is a lot of fun. I don't know who enjoys it more, me, or my 4-year old son. The things the monster momma does to show her monster child she loves her are hilarious - like giving her "lizard juice with ice" to be extra nice when she is sick.

Addicted

My oldest son, age 2 is simply amazed by this book. We try to find hidden things throughout the book, which is attributed to this marvelous job of illustration. It has vivid colors and allows me to teach my son about different insects, reptiles, etc.. He especially loves the clever use of words such as "beastball" that create a fun reading session for the two of us. The author has a good use of rhyme and creates an atmosphere of warmth and love in the family as the theme is about the love a mother has for her child. I would recommend this book to anyone as my son is addicted, wanting me to read it to him constantly.

Even Scrooge would love this book

Our two year old loves this book. Lucky for us it is also an adult pleaser because she wants to read it several times a day. It's a wonderful way to make any monster warm and cuddly.
