Summary: Love it!
Review: 10-Step Guide... is full of imaginative fun. Ms. Numeroff's clever writing style and Mr. Evan's playful illustrations really come together nicely to offer an enjoyable experience for the reader. I am also impressed that part of the proceeds from the sale of the book goes to Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Summary: Good, good fun...as usual.
Review: Once again, this team has put together a delightful book. Your little ones will love it doubly: both listening to it and reading it to you. However, what was as fun was giving it as a gift to several of my single women friends currently involved w/ various "monsters" of their own. What hoots that's causing still!

In either venue, treat yourself to this one.

Summary: What kids about to get their first monster need to know
Review: With the film "Monsters, Inc." about to hit video stores, lots of young children are going to be interested in the wisdom offered in "Laura Numeroff's 10-Step Guide to Living with your Monster" (illustrated by Nate Evans) in anticipation of having their own monster in the house. This book is geared specifically for ages 3-7, the age when a child usually is given responsibility for their first monster. It will be useful to parents who have forgotten or did not know that monsters like Country & Western music (I certainly did not know that and would not have even guessed that was indeed the case). Ms. Numeroff helps with not only the selecting of the proper monster, but covers such basics as naming, feeding, and cleaning. The back of the book contains glowing tributes from "Good Monster-Keeping Magazine" and satisfied readers. I should note, that many of the principles enumerated by Ms. Numeroff could be applied to having a pet or baby brother, just in case getting a monster proves to be unrealistic for you and your youngsters at this particular point in time.
