About the Author

Judy Sierra has been writing laugh-out-loud, read-aloud picture books for 25 years. She has worked with some of the cleverest illustrators, like Marc Brown, Melissa Sweet, J. Otto Siebold, Will Hillenbrand, and two-Caldecott Award winner Stephen Gammell.
 
Judy's books are for ages four to eight. They aim to stretch children's vocabularies, tickle their funnybones, and extol the virtues of kindness, perseverance, friendship, and the joys of a life filled with books.
 
"I try to create stories and rhymes that will entice children ages four to eight," she explains, "but I know that picture books are shared across generations. So I alwasy add a bit of sly humor and wordplay for adults. I'm especially pleased when an online reviewer says they don't mind reading my books again and again."
 
Judy Sierra lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband Bob and their library-card-carrying poodle, Keiko.

JACK E. DAVIS is the illustrator of the popular Zack Files series as well as picture books including Bedhead and Music over Manhattan. He lives in Port Townsend, Washington.

This book is a lot of fun my son absolutely loves this book and he's only three. I highly recommend it especially for those who like to make books fun by changing your voice this book is a lot of fun to read has some cute rhymes it's a little dark so if your kid is easily scared this is not for them because the rhymes are a little creepy but overall I think a lot of fun.

We got this book from the library, and my daughter loves it so much, we kept renewing it!
So, now I got on the site to get our own copy as I am tired of renewing! This is such an unusual, original book, all the children that visit us love it, too - the pictures are a blast! I am glad to see so many positive reviews, too. This one is going to be part of our library - and I rarely do buy children's books.

I got this for a child and, upon reading it, gave it to his mother! It was a little rough (concepts were above age level) for a four-year-old. But mom *loved* it. The child might get it from her when he's closer to ... maybe 7. If she'll give it to him.

So super cute! Since I was a kid, I always liked to see things from a bit more of a shadowy position. I love that this book turns the traditional Mother Goose on her ear. The perfect gift for the little monsters in your life!

I was not excited when she picked out this book at the library. But the poems are so cute and we read it again and again so we needed our own copy. The poems and the pictures make us giggle.

Monster Goose is really a delight. My older kids (like 7 and up) loved it, and we all enjoyed listening to the horrific rhymes...My ten year old boy memorized one for school and it was a big hit. I definitely recommend this.

My 6 year old son and I love reading this book. We laugh and laugh every time we read it. I took it to his kindergarten class when it was my turn to read to the class and all 22 kids were equally amused.
