Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Looking a bit more like a valise than a lunch box, this 9" x 8" package opens to reveal a monster mom's idea of haute cuisine. The storybook inside introduces a gaggle of youngsters who discover "a smelly lunch box" and then proceed to clamber around its oversized contents. What they find would surely horrify Julia Child, but these tidbits are certain to tickle kids' funnybones. Among the many tasty treats are "lizard eyes, purple fries,/ three hankies filled with sneeze./ freeze-dried mice, donkey lice,/ a furry fish with fleas" (a bit of green fur contributes to the realism). Flaps, pull-tabs, simple pop-ups and even a hologram add to the repast's repulsiveness. As a garnish, there's a sheet of stickers of such entrees as Dirty Birdy Feet, Booger Custard, etc. Brown once again demonstrates his understanding of kids' humor as he serves up this gross-out du jour. Ages 4-8.

Monster's Lunchbox is the boy version of girl 'princess fantasy'! Slimey, gooey, monster-friendly yuck induces ughs and oohs that all little boys love to hate. My sons, my sons' friends, and now my grandson all give a thumbs-up to this 'treasure'. A definite joy to experience as a read-aloud. Thank you, Marc Brown!
PS Little girls squeal with delight at this 'good-read' as well :-)

The book was exactly how I remembered the new one I got for my now teenage grandchildren. I wanted to share this cute book with my best friend's younger grandson. I have very good memories around reading this to the kids when they were younger.

My kids love this book and I look forward to pulling it out every year around Halloween. We also have used it in our homeschooling classroom -- many opportunities for lesson extensions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading, it was NOT acceptable as advertised
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018
Verified Purchase
I viewed this product and it stated that it was acceptable. I highly disagree because for it to be acceptable, you should be able to read the words. This book was COVERED in stickers. Now, I wouldn’t mind if the stickers were on some of the pictures, but these stickers were ALL over the words making it nearly impossible to read to my class. I even tried taking it off with Goo Gone, but you know trying to peel off a sticker always rips.

My 4.5 year old grand daughter loves to share this book with me.We read it together every time she visits. The interactive illustrations and slightly disgusting foods in the lunchbox make her squeal with delight.I've purchased extras to put away for future grand kids.

The book was great especially for 2nd grade boys but the condition I received it in was terrible. It is barely held together, very disappointing.
