I used to have my mom read this book to me all the time when I was younger. Sadly, I gave away this book at some point in my life, but I’m overjoyed that Amazon still sells it in perfect condition for an affordable price!

    I saved this book from when my son was little (he's now 38) and now when his 2 year old daughter came to visit I read his book to her. She loved the story so much that I purchased the book so it was waiting for her when she got home. This book gets read every night and she is in love with this monster. Is a great way to show that monsters are not scary. It's a great story!

    I loved this book as a kid so I bought it for the growing kids section in my home Library. I read it to my nephews and I think they liked it. They thought it was silly and smiled the whole time. My nephews are ages 9, 6, and 2. The youngest didn't have the attention span for it but he tried 🤣

    I remember this book as a kid but never could remember the name. Google told me what I needed to know 🤣. I loved this book as a kid and still as an adult.

    I bought this for my son. He is dyslexic and has trouble reading, so therefore he doesn't want to read at all. We started reading this and he loved the story. He laughed and was excited to read ahead to see what was going to happen. After we read it I had to order him two more books he picked out. This is fantastic. Anything to get him to sit down to read and practice so he can get better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 子供にとっての恐怖
    Reviewed in Japan on July 2, 2008
    女の子がモンスターを拾い、子猫を飼うような気持ちで地下室に隠します。
    ところがモンスターは地下室の食料を勝手に食べてどんどんどんどん大きくなり、すぐに女の子の手に負えないサイズまで巨大化。
    困り果てた女の子は・・・。

    かわいいお話ですが、同時に子供心を結構鋭く突いていると思います。
    親にちょっとした隠し事をしたつもりが、事が自分の手を離れてどんどん大きくなっていってしまう恐怖感が、巨大化するモンスターの形をとって表現されています。

    イラストもかわいいけどちょっと不気味。
    レベル1なので英語は超簡単。
    最後はハッピーエンドです。もちろん。

    思わず、自分の子供時代を振り返りました
    絵がかわいいような、かわいくないような・・・微妙な感じです。

    でも、お話しは分かりやすいです
    子供にとっては、どうでしょうね。
    モチロン、分かりやすいのですが、主人公の女の子の立場に
    思いっきり感情移入してしまうのかな?

    何はともあれ、最後はほのぼの・・・
    落ち着けます
