Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-09 00:00:00 Bob Cslob Lucy does not want to go to bed; she wants to draw. She creates Monster with a few strokes of her crayons and together they have some fun. But, when Lucy is finally tired and ready to go to sleep, she has to convince Monster to go to bed, too. The realistic crayon drawings are perfect for pre-readers to follow along with the story. What makes this a fun read-aloud is that it brings common bedtime feelings and delay tactics to the forefront. While the initial reaction might be to compare it the classic, Harold and the Purple Crayon, the story is shorter and the illustrations are more colorful. Drawing is a calming bedtime activity to get all the monsters out of your head, and Kantorovitz's colorful illustrations could certainly serve that need, as well as inspiration to children at any time of the day. Wing's story will have your little one reading along in no time, but perhaps Lucy's solution to getting Monster to bed is her way of asking for the same!

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-30 00:00:00 Sean Kenny This is another one of my favorites. To me, it reads like Harold and the Purple Crayon, but it is shorter. I like the interplay between the girl and her monster-- especially how she takes a parental role in getting him to bed. I think this is a very sweet story and a wonderful one to share.
