Rating:  Summary: My Son's Favorite Review: I bought this book for my son and I to have our special time together. I now read this book to him every night. He knows the book by heart. He helps me read it now. He also took it to his show in tell day and read it to his class. It real helped him to understand that monsters have families too. Thank you for giving us something special to have together.
Rating:  Summary: Who would have thoight monsters have mamas Review: I got this book for my daughters 4th birthday. It is a really cute book!! I found that the illustrations are more interesting than the actual story. Not that it's boring to a child, but that is definitely its' strong point. I recommend this book!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful book Review: I grew up with a mom who is an elementary school librarian and has her Master's in Library Sciences, and have been exposed to MANY wonderful books. Even though I wasn't familiar with this book, I stumbled upon it and decided to give it a try. The pictures are wonderfully bright and interesting and the story line is a wonderful classic tale of how much a mother loves her child. Since I have become a mother, I love to find books expressing love for a child. This one fits the bill perfectly, with a silly twist, and my daughter loves it. She is very young, but the pictures are so vivid, they hold her attention well. I recommend this book highly.
Rating:  Summary: My two year old's favorite bedtime story Review: I originaly bought this book through a book club at my daughter's school, but it became very worn and I had to seek out another copy. I actually bought two new copies. One to read to my two year old son and one to put away and pass on to his children. It's a wonderful book to read to any child about the love of a mother and a child. The illustrations are amazing. I highly recommend this book to anybody with a child in their life or as a gift to a soon to be mother. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: MONSTERS DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARY ANYMORE! THEY CAN BE FUNNY! Review: It's about time! I'm so glad there are books out there like this to help children see that monsters don't have to be scary! (Now parents all over the world can sleep better knowing their child won't wake them up at 2:00 am saying "there's a monster in the closet; I'm scared!" Well hey, one less thing!)Bravo to Laura Leuck and Mark Buehner! The story and the illustrations are both hiliariously entertaining! Plus I think it helps kids relate to the fact that there are lots of different and yes even unusual types of people and families but hopefully they all love each other the way THE MONSTER MAMA loves her little monster! Also it reminds me as a parent that spending QUALITY TIME with my child is what lets her know I love her! It is truly all the countless "little things" you do for your child that add up. So go bake some cookies (but hold the bugs please!) I highly recommend this book for adults as well as children! You'll both enjoy MY MONSTER MAMA LOVES ME SO, I guarantee it. Childrens' books have come a long way since I was a child! Adults can get a laugh and moral out of them too! After all, that is what books are for--to entertain and to teach.
Rating:  Summary: absolute pleasure to read Review: My 4 yr. old daughter loved this book from the first time we read it. She loves to hear how the Monster Mama takes care of her little monster. The story is a loving and gentle poitrait of a mothers love. Embedded in the story are the routines of everyday life (i.e. brush your fangs, eat health food, exercise, tuck me into bed). The illustrations provide lots of opportunity for talking about the story and the characters. My daughter loves the swamp scene and has made a story all her own about that scene. She loves to say, "Icky" when we talk about lizard juice with ice and cookies made with bugs. The last pages lets us end with a big monster moma hug. The I get to tweek her nose and her tickle her pointy toes.

Rating:  Summary: really cute Review: My family just loves this book. The words and story are really cute and the pictures are fabulous. There are hidden pictures on every page and lots to look at for reading and re-reading. I got this when my 2 year-old son was going through a "scared of monsters" stage. It helped him to see that the monster in the book does the same things we do, like eat breakfast and go to the swimming pool "swamp". He even has a pet(spider) to take care of! It is a very non-scary monster book. I highly recommended it if you have a child that is afraid of monsters. Parents will get a kick out of the story also. Great, great, great!
Rating:  Summary: Look for the pictures hidden on every page (even the cover) Review: The illustrations are wonderful! I think I like this book more than my son does. You have to look at the pictures carefully, there are hidden bunnies and other creatures as well. A heartfelt story, it's a joy to read.
