Monsters galore in this little boy's night in his room after his mischievous evening.

The book was very good but not appropriate for the age group it suggests. I read it to my 18 month old God son, who loves being read to, and it didn't capture his attention. It is a very good book for older children 3 yeas and up.

If a psychologist said to me, "Think of the first thing that comes to mind when I say the words 'children's book'," THIS book is what would pop into my mind. I had a copy as a child and it was well-loved. It is now well-loved by my daughter. Wonderful illustrations, poetry-type storytelling, and puts to rest the notion that monsters are to be feared.

I read this book as a child and I loved it. I have now shared it with my six year old Godson and he loves it as well. Amazing pictures. As an education major the pictures were very easy to ask questions about. Also the story allowed some great lessons as well!

This is still one of the greatest books. I remembered reading it several times in elementary school and when I saw there was a movie coming out, I was ecstatic. I had to get the book just for the sake of nostalgia.

Classic book. My toddler loves it and always brings it for me to read to him. Our favorite part is the wild rumpus. We love it!
