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.

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!

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!
