Monster Park!

"Monster play. Monster 'YAY!' Monster Park—come on, this way!" Monster's having a fun time at the park—swinging and sliding, swirling and twirling, and riding the whirly-whirl. When it's time to go, though, Monster says "NO!" But all's okay because Monster can return another day. A monstrous-ly enjoyable follow-up to Annie Bach's delightful Monster Party!

From School Library Journal

Toddler-PreS—Readers join a baby blue monster in a fun-filled day at Monster Park where he plays, finds courage, learns to share, has a "boo-boo" healed by his dad, and throws a tantrum when it is time to leave. The active rhyming text is perfect for preschoolers. "Monster ride./Monster hide./Monster climbs the tallest slide!" In the end, Monster is comforted by his relationship with his dad, knowing that the park can wait until another day. Soft and fuzzy monsters of various colors, shapes, and sizes appear; all are friendly and nonthreatening. VERDICT An entertaining read for monster storytimes.—Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY

School Library Journal

"Through a rhyming text, readers follow preparation, disco dancing, a pin-the-tail game, piñata, bug-topped pizza, a pink-cupcake-tower food fight, and presents. As in Bach's Night-Night Forest Friends dark backgrounds emphasize the cheery cartoon creatures' ice cream colors."
