This is one of Big Sis’ favorite books. She loves monsters and this is the perfect story of a little boy’s encounter with a monster, that isn’t too scary! A monster writes a letter which by mistake ends up in the hands of a little boy, explaining that he is visiting on Saturday, the little boy not wanting to offend, writes back to firm up the arrangement and they then both spend the week preparing, each as nervous as the other!
The illustrations are fab and it even rhymes! I have to read it every night - and I gotta tell you, I look forward to it! A Monster Wrote Me A Letter is by Nick Bland and published by Scholastic Australia. Buy it for your little monster freak’s Santa stocking, they (and you) will love it!
Monster, preschoolers, toddlers

There’s nothing better than kid’s books which are fun for grown ups too. On the theme of monsters, one of my faves as a child, and now my daughter’s is “where the wild things are”, which disturbingly has just been turned into a film. I just can’t imagine it without those gorgeous illlustrations!

I agree - in fact I think Max and his Wolf Suit may feature in a future post! I particularly love the illustrations of “wild rumpusing”!
