Summary: Memories in the Making
Review: Grover is more than a little nervous - after all, there's a MONSTER at the end of the book. So, he enacts all kinds of zaniness like gluing the pages together in order to keep (protect) YOU (not him!!) from the monster at the end of the book.

This is the only book I remember my dad reading to me - EVER. (Probably because I asked for it a million times!!) He would act the parts out and change his voice and I would roll on the floor with laughter. When it came to Grover's antics, my dad would pretend that the pages really *were* stuck together. He'd grunt and groan and s-l-o-w-l-y turn the pages.

I read it to my kids - my children and students alike - in the same manner. And you know what? Everyone rolls on the floor giggling. Everyone has a good time.

I highly recommend this one - it is a great story about the wacky ways we devise to avoid what we think we fear. BUT, it is also a great way to build memories that will last forever with your children.

Summary: HELLO EVERYBODEEE!
Review: Grover was my favorite Sesame Street character as a child (and still is) and for some strange reason it isn't easy to find books on him. This one is so cute and adorable, just like "Lovable, Furry, Old Grover" himself!

As the adult you open the first page and instantly know the conclusion but looking at it from a child's viewpoint it is suspensefully entertaining. If you have a child that pushes books away alot I promise you he or she will NOT do that with THIS BOOK!

I highly recommend this book up to age 100! It is simply hiliarious! (When I first read it in the store I cracked up laughing and people were looking at me and I didn't care!) BUY THIS BOOK! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED--I PROMISE! YOU'LL PROBABLY LOVE IT MORE THAN YOUR CHILD! IT IS VERY FUN TO READ!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute and Funny and Furry
Review: I loved this book when I was little! It stars Sesame Street's lovable blue monster Grover who has heard a rumor of a monster being at the end of this book. Thoughout the story, Grover tries to stop the reader from reading on as each page brings him closer to the monster at the end of the book. But the reader will soon find out thet Grover can't stop the pages from being turned. A very enjoyable book to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest childhood memory
Review: I owned this book as a child and I still remember and cherish it. Although my daughter is only 1 month old. I am looking forward to reading it to her to the point where she will "read" (really memorizing the story) it to me, like I did with my mother.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love Furry ol' Grover!!
Review: I used to have this book when I was a little girl and I bought it for my two boys who are now older and have since gotten rid of it, and I LOVE THIS BOOK! It was my favorite as a child, it was my older boys' favorite, and now I've had a baby and I want it to be his favorite too!! Grover is just so silly and cute in this story that you just have to LOVE him!! Everytime I read it, I laugh and giggle because it is just too silly!! It is a definite must have for any child out there! Grover leads you all the way through the whole book telling about this scary monster at the end of the book and how frightened he is, and then ... well for those of you who haven't read it I don't want to ruin it for you...heheheh! Enjoy!

Summary: Don't turn the page!
Review: I wandered into the room of my best friend's three-year-old son, preparing to read him a book before he went to bed. When I saw this book among the pile on his floor, I got nostalgic. Really nostalgic. My mom read me the same book when I was his age, and I love, LOVE this book.

Not only does it teach you that sometimes the answer to all of your questions is right in front of you, but it does so by giving you pages of Grover, one of the most hysterical, lovable Muppets. The rattling of Grover's nerves, and the actual building of suspense in a picture book, keep the reader turning the book's pages -- even though Grover BEGS you not to do so. The reader is actually included in the narrative, for the book involves only Grover talking to the reader. The book thus becomes involving very quickly and entertaining throughout it.

Plus, the final punchline is a great payoff.

If you have children, this is an absolute must. Unlike other books from children's shows, this one's intelligent, maintains proper values and isn't beat-me-over-the-head annoying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book for Young Children
Review: I was born in 1980 and was fortunate to be around when Sesame Street was still in its prime. I, like all other 4 and 5 year olds, loved the show and had Sesame Street books, lunchboxes, and other merchandise. But this book I will always remember as being the most creative and safely suspenseful book for a young child. My mother would always read this book to my brother and I before going to bed and all three of us delighted in Grover and his precocious antics of being so scared of the monster that was awaiting him and us, the reader, at the end. And the book never got old, my mom read the story to us millions of time and it was still just as creative, fun, fresh, and a bit scary each time. I highly recommend this book to any parent with young children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book is Genius!
Review: It's hard to trace one's love of reading to any one book, but The Monster at the End of This Book is at least, in my case, the prime suspect. It was my favorite bedtime story when I was five, a fact only partly attributable to my father's hysterical impression of Grover. It's definitely the kind of book that makes you want to have children just so you can read it to them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very cute!
Review: Kids love it. They think it's hysterical. Anytime you find a book that they love, it's a good thing. Two thumbs up!
