BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Milo is afraid there is a monster under his bed because he read a book about it. Milo's friend Mel lives across the street and they talk to each other with sign language, so when Milo tells Mel he's afraid, she knows just what to do. She teaches Milo to make shadows with his hands and a flashlight. Monster Hands!
I loved that Milo was reading classic books, "Where the Wild Things are" "The Hungry Caterpillar" and of course the one that caused all the trouble. A darling way to solve the problem of being afraid of a monster, but also a great book about solving a problem with a friend. This will be a favorite for my grandkids for sure. Loved it!
Milo is white, Mel has darker skin, Mel knows sign language.
