Summary: Definitely buy this book!
Review: Of my young childhood memories, "The Monster at the End of This Book" is one that I fondly recall and still enjoy reading for my daughter. When I was a little girl, I remember how much fun it was to have my mother reading to me in Grover's voice, and I hope to share that fond memory with my beautiful daughter. She is only eight months old and she already is laughing and really enjoying it with me. I like the board edition as well - it's easy to read with a young baby - you don't have to worry about the pages being torn/bent so it should stay in good condition for a while. I definitely highly recommend this book!

Have fun,
Gaby :)

Summary: From my childhood to today's children
Review: This adorable book was my favorite and most memorable read from my own childhood many years ago. Children will delight in Grover's growing anticipation and fear of coming into contact with the "monster" at the end of the book as well as his Herculean efforts (building brick walls, etc.) to keep the reader from continuing on. I challenge you to find the child who does not laugh hysterically while gleefully defying Grover's repeated command "Don't turn the page!!!" This timeless little story is an absolute joy for parents and children to read together.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book is of course a classic. I was excited to buy it to read to my 2 year old. He loves it to. A must have!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: generations will love it
Review: This was my absolute favorite book when I was a kid and I still love it today. I bought it for my nephew and now for my 2 month old son. If you're a parent with a sence of humor, and have a child who is developing one, this book is a must have. When you read it, let your hair down and have a good time, the book will be a blast to read for adult and child.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved this book!
Review: This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I can still remember reading it for the first time while in line at the grocery store and thinking it was the funniest book in the world. It would make a good bed time story and would be fun for a parent to read to there child because it is very exciting for a kid. I highly recommend this.

Summary: This is a fun read; rather rowdy for bedtime, though.
Review: We have lots of fun reading this book. I like to emphasize the strength it takes to turn the page and topple the brick wall, for instance. It's probably better to read this during the day. At night you want quiet, calm-me-down books. This book is not that.
The only reason I docked it a star is because some of the pages are a little harder to read aloud because of the extra pleading and begging that Grover is doing. Not a great reason, but it's not a story so much as a monologue.
I loved it as a kid and my children definitely like it now. It's filled with interesting plot obstacles (which might make a post-modernist thrilled, by the way) and the artwork is bright and colorful. Some of the words are very comic-booky.

All in all, a fun romp!
