Book Review: That Monster on the Block (ogres, yetis, zombies and more) (OT)

That Monster on the Block, by Sue Ganz-Schmitt (Two Lions, 32 pages, 2020, $10.99, ages 4-8, grades pre-school - 3*)

How Many Monsters? And What Do They Look Like?

That Monster on the Block has very detailed illustrations with primary colors galore. You will see a green monster and a zombie, and what a blue yeti looks like, and a greedy goblin, and an ogre, and a dastardly dragon, and a mummy (oh, we already know what a mummy looks like) - and more, like their unique houses - and especially a creepy cartwheeling clown who surprises all the other monsters. 

Find out why our green monster makes such a huge roar and even scares himself a little bit.

Here is a lovely lesson about new and different neighbors and why sometimes you have to make the first move towards friendship.

That Monster on the Block is more fun than a barrel of popcorn with sludgeberry swirl scones.

Can you guess what happens when a rainbow unicorn moves into the neighborhood?

*primarily for the 5 and under age group
