I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This was a short "story" that featured a lot of very short descriptions about what the monsters at school are doing throughout the day. It kind of made me think of the board books that I read to my children when they were really little, but I don't think it is actually a board book. it would still be a great book to read to your littles, just maybe don't let them get their hands on it.
There were a lot of fun rhymes couched within the brief descriptions, which made the book fun to read. It had a great flow and with the first reading, I was not annoyed. I could definitely read this book several times before I'd want to read something else. Your children will probably want you to keep reading it long after you've grown bored of it, because who doesn't love reading about monsters. The illustrations were bright and bold and a bit silly, but they definitely showed the different things being described quite well.
Overall I give Monsters at School 4.5928 out of 5 stars. - Katie
