From a 6 year old: "The Book Monster is cool." From a 9 year old: "I loved it. Its a really cool book. The illustrations are great. I loved it when the kids solved the problem of the book-eating monster." From Mom: an empowering story where the kids aren't the noisy ones and kids solve problems on their own.
It's Saturday, and after a quick stop for donuts, Oskar and Theodore are headed to the library's children's department, while Dad goes to the nap department. The boys' reading is interrupted by a giant five-headed monster that keeps trying to eat all the books. Upon learning that the books aren't for eating, the monster humorously threatens to eat the boys - with sprinkles on top. The boys have to do some quick thinking, with the friendly librarian's help, to redirect the monster's attention.The illustrations are quirkily well done, and the dialogue is frequently laugh out loud funny. This delightful story has had my kinder and pre-K kids asking to read it over and over - always a sign of a hit!
Oskar and Theodore love to go to the library each Saturday to read in the quiet space. But on this particular Saturday things take a turn for the loud, when a five-headed monster shows up looking for things to eat. Despite their best efforts, Oskar and Theodore are unable to avoid the monster and must come up with a strategy to avoid becoming the monster's lunch. I love the fact that the librarian is the one who comes to the rescue. ;) The banter between the boy, bear, and the monster heads provides plenty of humor along with the theme of storytelling being a powerful tool along with donuts. A cute book that I plan to use with my students to encourage book check out and using quiet voices in the library.
Just read this at our local library. LOVE it. Fun illustrations, quirky writing, and the special kind of silliness that delights kids! The sprinkle loving monster...! And for me, a librarian-to-be, that car, loaded down with books...! So much fun.
When Theodore and Oskar settle down at the library to read books - after breakfast with Dad at the Donut Shop - they are rudely interrupted by a 5-headed monster.The monster is hungry and tries to eat the books. But the books taste yucky. Maybe Theodore and Oskar would taste better. To distract the monster, Oskar has a trick up his sleeve - or his hat.The librarian starts to read a story, and the monster decides books sound better than they taste. By the end of the story, the monster decides to help Ms. Watson, the librarian clean up the library and reach the high shelves for her.The boys say goodbye to the monster: Bob, Seymour, Winston, Pat and Chuck - each head has a name - and the 5 guys promise not to eat them.The library is quiet again, but short a few books. You should see the books Theo and Oskar pack into and onto their car!This is a fun read-aloud - especially appropriate for librarians and families who love the library.

I have over 500 little "monsters" in our library throughout the week. Wouldn't have it any other way! Cute book showing the monsters how to love books and not eat them!
Story line not what I expected for a children's book. Did not have a feeling of anticipation one would like to see-
