Monster and Me


Monster and Me
by Robert Marsh
Illustrated by Tom Percival

Gabby is twelve years old and has a pet monster, but unlike normal monsters, Gabby doesn't want hers to stay in the closet. So, she brings him to school to help out with the school play - A Christmas Carol.

I really laughed out loud as I read this graphic novel. It was really cute and fun with Monster trying to eat some of Gabby's classmates and teachers. This book also dealt with the issue of Gabby's father not being around often to see her different important events. He did, however, make it to the play and brightened Gabby and Monster's day.

I love how these book have vocabulary words and discussion questions at the end. This would be great for younger or struggling readers in any elementary school.

5/5 Roses
