Monster Books for Kids
One unexpected thing my boys have done is turn a somewhat frightening subject, monsters, into a fun and adorable subject. After all…. it does kind of take after them, adorable, silly, little terrors 😉
The Monster at the End of This Book: Reading this book has become a family tradition that started when I was young. It is a great way to get a little scare in the cutest of ways, through lovable, furry, old Grover the monster. Don’t forget to pick up the second version of this book, Another Monster at the End of this Book.
I Love You Stinky Face: Kids will be reassured of mama’s love through the silliest of scenarios. They will find that mama’s love endures even if her child turns into a green swamp monster! You can read more adventures from Stinky Face in Goodnight Stinky Face, I Miss You Stinky Face, and You Can Do it Stinky Face.
Miss Nelson Is Missing!: The students who go to class in room 207 begin to regret their naughty behavior when Miss Viola Swamp (a monster of a substitute teacher!) takes their sweet teacher’s place. Learn all about their adventures while they wait until Miss Nelson is Back. If you love this book as much as our family does, you can get the entire series of Miss Nelson’s Books.
Monsters Love School: This book takes a look inside of a monster school! As the monsters head back to school for their first day of the year, they soon realize how much fun they are having, even though they are learning.
Sam’s Sandwich: Brothers can be such monsters! When Sam’s sister wants a sandwich, he knows exactly what to slip in between the lettuce and tomatoes. You’ll have to guess by the rhyming text and pictures to guess!
Where the Wild Things Are: An all time favorite book for so many families. This is a mandatory book to keep on your bookshelves. 
The Color Monster Pop Up Book: Learn about your feelings as you read this colorful story. The little monster in this book can be very relatable to your very own monster!
Free Printable Monster Bookplates
Some of my most prized possessions are books that were given to me by my family. I have some with scribbled notes from my mom, dad, brothers, aunts, uncles, friends, and even my grandparents. These scribbles, although meaningless to everyone else, have given me such comfort. Not just now, but since they were given to me many, many years ago.
To give your book selections a little more personalization, I created some Monster Bookplates for you to use. Grab a pack of Sticker Sheets and get to printing. These bookplates can be used for any occasion including birthdays. All you have to do is print them out. Just click on the link below!
