Customer Reviews
monster at the end of this book
This is the favorite book of my 3 kids, I have a grandson now, and ordered it for him. It arrived promptly and in excellent condition.
Short and sweet for bedtime, not scary at all
This is a short and sweet book perfect for bedtime unless your little one actually listens to Grover's please to not turn the page! Lots of opportunities for sound effects - huffing and puffing, pounding with a hammer, crashing down a brick wall, simply fun.
A wonderful read aloud classic
I had no idea the treasure this book was until I read it to my children and then to their kindergarten classmates. If you read to groups of small children, this is a must-have in your collection. On our first read, they were a little apprehensive about what they would find at the end of the book but after they discover who it is, they love it and love having the book reread to them knowing the ending. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
