I have always loved There's a Monster at the End of this Book by Jon Stone. It is a Sesame Street book starring Grover. It is a humorous book that I loved as a child and love to read to children as well. Grover is begging the reader not to continue turning the pages because he is scared of the supposed monster at the end of the book. In the end, he realizes that the monster is himself! It's an adorable, fun story that almost seems interactive in the way it is written. It is loved by every child I have read it to and that is one reason I love reading it to them.

Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI remember this book! I had it when I was young and read it ALL the time. I would laugh so hard each time Grover found out that he was the monster. Thank you for reminding me of a great memory!

I really like that quote...if only all parents and adults actually did their best to make sure positive things fell in every child.
