Adorable monster story! I am excited to see this book being so kind and adorable yet taking about the monster, as many kids are afraid of them, but not this one. The story is profound with idea of good relationship with family, mother and teaches love and kindness - that's exactly the personality i would love to see in my growing up son. Very sweet book
