Review Quotes

"A baby sibling for a modern childhood classic."--Kirkus Reviews

"Children will be starstruck with this monstrously interactive bedtime story."--School Library Journal

"Just as Emberley's book Go Away, Big Green Monster (1993) allowed young children to send away a potentially scary big monster, the new book lets them do the same to a charming little monster...Cleverly designed and sturdy, the die-cut pages are tough enough to endure plenty of finger pokes, hand grabs, and page turns, which are sure to come as young children explore this engaging picture book."--Booklist

"Like this book's classic predecessor, Go Away, Big Green Monster, listeners turn die-cut pages to reveal, body part by body part, a little monster....This is a simple bedtime story and a subtle introduction to color and the body."
--The Horn Book

"Twenty years after Go Away, Big Green Monster! Emberley uses die-cuts to introduce readers to a new monster, and this one's much younger (and far less scary) than its predecessor....Just the thing for children to wind down with after a candy-fueled Halloween night."--Publishers Weekly
