I loved this book! The pages are so colourful and there is a lot to look at. I can see my son having a lot of fun and laughing whilst reading this. Actually I had a lot of fun reading it and was definitely having a giggle every now and then.

This is a Book Full of Monsters is reminiscent of There is a Monster at the End of this Book in general feel. However, the illustrations are much more fun (full page color and suitably gross) and the book feels more interactive. The last 3 pages (right before the diploma for being brave enough to read the book) are particularly well-done.

This is a Book Full of Monsters is a great, fun read to share with your little ones. Recommended for 5 and under, though some older kids may get a kick out of it as well. The illustrations are great, the words are easy to read, and it’s a cute way to confront the ‘scary things’ out there or under your bed.

I am not sure why Goodreads will only let me choose Hardcover as I read it on my kindle but no matter. I read this book to my 6 year old son and he found it a lot of fun and very funny. I think the book should probably be read using hardcover or paper back because nothing beats actually turning the pages of a book and I think the drawings will show up better on paper. Young children who love monsters and silly books will definitely love this one. Highly recommended.

An engaging and interesting book that younger children would really love.

I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
A book full of monsters perfect for young kids. This book would be fun as a read aloud where the kids could do things that the reader tell them to do like plug their nose or ears. I wish that the illustrations were a bit more bright and fun, but all in all a good book.

I have an 8 yr old who LOVES all things monsters so we read this together and she thought it was great. The illustrations captured the fun and spookiness of this story perfectly.

The way this story is written comes off more conversationalist which makes it GREAT to read aloud especially if you do spooky voices to entertain your kids! My daughter and I had lots of laughs together as we engaged in the story; she roared so loud at one point as it directs you to in the story she scared the cat who took off running, lol!

As a parent my favorite part was the Diploma of Bravery you ‘earn’ at the end for managing to survive the monster test by finishing the book. It made my daughter so happy and she told me now she wasn’t afraid of monsters anymore because she’s brave since she passed the test. I thought overall it was an adorable story and perfect for bedtime; I can see this being popular at Halloween.

The ultimate judge was my kiddo and she gives this a fantastic review :-)

Cute colorful, and well, yes, scary monsters fill the pages of this quick read for monster-obsessed kids. Brilliantly-illustrated. Maybe not bedtime reading for the very young but older kids will find it fun or amusing.

As the title warns readers, this book is full of monsters. Scary, gross, smelly monsters. If you can survive the read, you’ll get a Diploma of Bravery.

The high point of the book this book for me was the engaging text that talks to readers and anticipates you actions/reactions so you feel like it’s really interacting with you. A little heads up that there may be an actual startle factor with this book. (There’s a pop up monster towards the end that springs out of the book after you release him from his prison.) There’s a little bit of a gross factor too as one monster is oozing slime and others aren’t very pretty. Our library will probably pass on this title. But I can see this being a popular Halloween title and some kids out there will find this just the right kind of daring read. And they'll like that there's a diploma they can award themselves in the back for their bravery.
