Kind of a weird book since we’re supposed to be teaching children to respect bodily autonomy and consent. To read this book you have to constantly disrespect its boundaries and I don’t think that’s a great message to send toddlers.

Kids love this book - but that's only because they haven't seen the original with Grover!

Wonderful book! I read this to my students and they loved it! They were chanting by the fourth page. Such a fun read! I highly recommend it!

I don't know exactly when I read this, but I think it was in August. It was so cute and clever and is a nice little children's book.

I got a mini copy of this book from QBD and thought I'd read it!
This was such a cute and funny book; I would definitely buy a bigger copy for a friend's kid

Čo vám budem hovoriť, určite je to vtipné. Napriek názvu a prosbám príšerky aby ste knihu nečítali, musíte čítať ďalej a ďalej.
Problém u nás boli práve tie prosby. Príšerka naozaj PROSÍ, plače, vyzerá zúfalo a nešťastne. A vy jej robíte doslova naschvál. Obraciate jednu stránku za druhou a neostáva vám nič, len sa smiať na jej zúfalstve. Nie som si istá, či práve takýto koncept chcem svojim deťom odovzdať.
Moje deti sú veľmi empatické a jednoducho toto nezvládli. Po počiatočnom šoku však knihu chceli opätovne čítať. Je to totiž ozaj vtipné. A samozrejme, porušovať príkazy, pravidlá (a prosby?) baví každé dieťa.
