Good Night, Monkey Boy

Review: Good Night, Monkey Boy has to be one of the greatest children's books to come out in a while. For all who disobeyed their parents and wanted to stay up just a little longer, this book is all about it. The simple, yet effective message that this book holds, is accessible to kids of any age. Stylistically, (is that a word?), the books characters are all fresh, and new-the colors are bright, and the texture in the paint all adds up to a fine book.
I first learned about this book while attending Montserrat College of art. I am currently striving to become one of the few, and the proud: an illustrator. This sememster at school, a strange new poster appeared in one of the hallways. It read,"good night, Monkey boy". Underneath it was the name: Jarret Krosoczka. it sounded famillier. The images of monkey boy stuck in my head wherever I went, I knew that this was something special. Coincedentally the day I first laid my eyes on monkey boy was the same day I met my new teacher, Jarret Krosoczka. As far as first impressions are concerned, and from what I had seen of his work, I knew it was going to be an extremely fun class. His way of handling class, reflects his work-he can be incredibly fun to be around, but in the end he knows what he is doing. I recommend this book for kids of all ages, and any illustrators out there looking for something fresh. Jarret, you crazy.-

Review: I checked this book out from the library and both my children instantly loved it. The illustration was excellent. It was very animated with bold and beautiful colors. It is definitely a bedtime book to have. I'm getting a copy for my 2 little monkeys!

Summary: A Favorite!
Review: My children absolutely LOVE this book!! We read it every night and then the 4 year old "reads" it to the 2 year old after I leave the room and we can hear them in there laughing like crazy. The illustrations are great and it is a charming book. We got this at the library initially and had to buy our own copy, I will save this one for my grandchildren!

Summary: I love Monkey Boy!
Review: This book is great. I read it almost every night to my son, who I now call Monkey Boy (although he doesn't quite understand why: "WHY, mama, why am I Monkey Boy?") The illustrations are great, and we love looking at all the details together. It's the perfect bedtime (or non-bedtime) book.

Review: We want more! What a delightful treat, for children and adults! The book is beautifully illustrated and all-around well composed. It makes a great story for bedtime, and its short and sweet length is perfect for children learning to read, giving them the satisfaction of completing an entire book!

Mr. Krosoczka, thanks, and i think we are all looking forward to your next creation!

Review: What memories this book brings back! I have two adult monkey boys now, and these antics ring true to all three of us. Jarrett knows his monkey boys! Thanks for writing/illustrating a book that helps us all connect after the teeth are brushed and the toys are put away. My 7 year old nephew gave up being a power ranger to be a monkey boy when we read this book together....
