I haven't done a children's book in awhile, and they are important too, so todays book is "The Monster At The End Of This Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover". Full of vivid, colorful and playful illustrations by Michael Smollin, this one is a favorite of many!
Grover freaks out when he discovers the title of this book and spends each page trying to discourage the reader from turning the page... you don't want to get to the end and find a monster!! He tries to convince the reader that he has tied the pages together so they can't be turned and that he built a brick wall so the page can't be turned, and nailing the pages down... anything to keep the reader from getting to the end and finding a scary monster!
I'll tell you that there IS a monster... but there is still a fun surprise that will delight little ones.
In 2007 The National Education Association listed this book as one of it's "Teachers Top 100 Books for Children" .
In 2012 it was #10 in the "Top100 Picture Book" in an article published by School Library Journal.
