This is going to be a 'Minimal Monday' review, simply because it's just a fun, noisy book that you HAVE TO read!
There were ten monsters in the bed,
and the farty monster said ...
"MOVE OVER!"
A smelly, noisy (definitely boy humour) twist on the 'ten green bottles' ditty.
The ten dirty, gross and disgusting monsters don't have enough room on the top bunk of their bed. So they proceed to push, throw and sneeze their way off the bed, whilst down below one big monster is trying to sleep.
The illustrations are amazingly bright and colourful, even with a dark purlply/navy background. And the monsters, even though they are rather disgusting, are really quite fantastic to look at. Keep your eye on the moldy flea ridden sandwich during the story, as well as the monster in the bowl. So many things to look at on each page as the monsters are constantly in motion.A rollicking great rhyming read-aloud. Mind you I wouldn't read it at bed-time as it is not the sort of story that children will settle down and fall asleep to! It's more a noisy, gross, activity inducing read!
I got my copy of Ten monsters in the bed from the Taradale Primary School library where I work.
You can find a copy at Napier Libraries.
