Review Quotes:
Sigal Adler, just keeps adding to her now very impressive number of books for children.
As always Sigal's rhyming style is delightful. This new book is not only entertaining but also carries messages to those children fortunate enough to read them - or have them read to them. The books are enhanced by the excellent illustrations by Abira Das.
For those who follow Sigal Adler they know that she offers a meaningful commentary about the importance of reading and the use of rhyme to bring the love of reading to play in children who are challenged by reading or discouraged about learning to read. 'Children with dyslexia, for instance, find it much easier to understand words when they rhyme rather than dissecting them into letters and syllables.'
In this book, DON'T FEED THE MONSTER, Billy Monster wins a terrific prize - a new home with his own kid to pester and scare. But Billy worries that he looks wimpy, and when he seeks advice from his tutor, he learns he must frighten children in order to grow. Billy tries that very night, scarring his kid - and indeed he did grow bigger! He continues to scare the kid, and the kid's mom continues to reassure the kid that he is only having bad dreams. Billy continues his growth plans until the kid's mother intervenes and borrows a book "Get Rid Of Monsters" from the library - a book that instructs not to be scared of monsters, stopping the fright tactics by simply ignoring the monster's antics. And it works - the lack of fright makes Billy shrink to a very small size again - and he must strike out and fine another home! Lesson - don't feed the monsters' needs. "Just know any monster you happen to find is really made-up, he just lies in your mind.'
This is another wonderful children's book, beautifully written in magical rhyme and related with terrific illustrations - Very Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, August 19
