- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very cute book about a monster who is searching for love in all the wrong places. The book shows how even though he tries very hard, he isn't able to find what he is searching for and gets discouraged. However, it does have a happy ending that leaves the reader on a bright and hopeful emotion. It's a great discussion starter for children who may be trying hard without achieving the results they desire, or for kids having a hard time fitting in. It's also a good starting point for talking about perseverance and acceptance and differences. The illustrations are bright and bold and very cute. We love this book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The only non-cuddly resident of Cutesville, Monster longed for friends, companionship, and most of all, for love. Setting out one day on a quest to find what he's been missing, Monster searched high and low, all to no avail. Beaten down and defeated, he was heading back to Cutesville when he met a slightly hairy she-monster on the bus...An engaging tale of a sympathetic misfit who only wants the same love and companionship he sees others around him enjoying, Love Monster pairs an endearing story with bright, appealing artwork, created through a process called 'solar etching,' in which ultraviolet light is used to make printing plates. As someone who likes block-printing type artwork, I was pretty much guaranteed to find Love Monster appealing, stylistically speaking, but I also appreciated the vivid but subtle color palette that Rachel Bright employed. All in all, an enjoyable little cream-puff of a picture-book, and more than enough to convince me to track down more about Love Monster.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Monster finds love where he least expects it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not giving up is the big idea of the story. Just when Monster was about to give up, he found what he was looking for. In my opinion, this is a great book. The writing and illustrations went together very well. For example, "[Monster] looked high. He looked low." and in the pictures, he was on the top and bottom of a hill. Even the font of the text was illustrated. In Monster's name, their was a little heart in the O. That is a subtle way to show that there is something beautiful in something as plain as the word "monster". Another example of that is the word "love" also had a heart in the O. It helps explain what the word means, which may be a helpful clue for children learning to read. Finally, I loved the plot of the story. Monster felt like no one would ever love him, but kept searching for the one who would. This is a situation that everyone can relate to at some point in their lives. I definitely recommend this book.
