"This monster goes to school, he makes sure he's on time, he always pays attention to feed and grow his mind. When teachers ask a question he will raise his hand, he listens to the lessons so he can understand."
 
Welcome to the world of the not-so-scary monsters! Each page contains a beautiful illustration of an adorable monster and a description of what they do. Some monsters like sports and some like to do chores, but none of them are scary! For those too young to read, this is the perfect book for a bedtime story. You can read the book all the way through or just pick a couple of monsters to read before bed.
 
This book is also designed with young readers in mind and is balanced between sight words and words that can be sounded out with a mix of challenging words to promote parent assistance. This is a great tool for teachers and parents of new readers and introduces kids to rhyming and rhythm. The font has a heavy bottom which is specifically designed to enhance the ease of reading and comprehension including readers that may be struggling with dyslexia.

About the Author

Ian has always had a passion for writing whether it was songs, books, essays, or even just grocery lists. Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, he lives a quarter mile from his childhood home with his wife and four little monsters of his own. Writing children's books has been a passion for as long as he can remember and with the completion of his first book "The (not-so-scary) Book of Monsters", the pieces finally came together to create a product he was thrilled to see come to life. His wife runs a daycare and the kids are an integral part of the creation process because he has the advantage of an in-house focus group. He is inspired by the joy on the children's faces when they see a new monster he has created and when they let him know which one is their favorite. When he's not locked away writing, Ian enjoys spending time with his family and pursuing other creative endeavors.

Cuteness overload!!!
Not so scary, indeed! I love the subdued monster depiction and creative illustrations (and the dedication🥹). I bought this book for my sassy and wise beyond her years, 5-teenth year old niece, a beginner reader who started kindergarten this year. This was so much fun to read together but she’s doing great reading it on her own now as many of her sight words are incorporated in this gem of a book! I bought another for my nephew but my 26 year old PG-13 daughter “borrowed” it. Here I am, back on Amazon to replace it and write my review. #appropriateforallages
