Book Recommendation: I Think that it’s a Monster

I Think that it’s a Monster
By Steven Krygger
Illustrated by Andrew McIntosh

This is the first book recommendation I have made on this blog but I cannot get over how much I love this book. I picked it up from the library for my children (age 2 and 4) and I expected it to be similar to We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. I was pleasantly surprised when I actually read it!

Spoiler Alert! It can’t be helped if you want to know why this book is so good.

This book is about a child searching for monsters and coming across strange looking creatures but none of them are considered to be monsters. They all have monster-like features, but the book explains that they are not monsters because they have done nothing wrong. A monster is someone who is unkind on purpose. The book then goes on to explain how to stop a monster by offering them your friendship.

It is a great book for exploring inclusivity and kindness.

Here is a link to the book on Amazon if you are interested:

Or see if you can find it in your local library or other preferred places. It really is worth it!
