mxsallybend's review against another edition

I don't normally review our bedtime reads, but the fact that my little guy has asked for this every night for the past 2 weeks is pretty impressive. It's a cute twist (monster afraid of humans under the bed) with some fun moments.
A few rhymes are rough, and too many sentences have forced syllables that make reading awkward, but overall it's a fun read.

Here's what I always wonder about 'Don't Be Scared Of Monsters' picturebooks:
Is a young reader pacified by the idea that there is a monster under her bed? Did he even consider that possibility before a well-intentioned pair of picture book creators imagined it up, illustrated it vividly and sold it to the parent to read right before sleeping time?
Who knows. If you want to assuage the fears of a young child, best thing you can do is buy a divan.
I digress.
As far as these books go, this is a good one.

I had high hopes for this book. I love the illustrations (although the cover could be better). And the story moves along. However there is a page where the little dragon purposely hurts his mother, that I don’t agree with. And it’s just glossed over. So no, not this book, not for me, and not for my library.
