Unfun ——————————-|- Fun
Deep-o-meter:
Shallow ——–|———————- Deep

Basics: A funny writer makes up funny poems about funny monsters doing funny things. All illustrated brilliantly.

Why I like it: Because it’s funny. Obviously. Not only is it funny, but it’s not … stupid, the way some “trying to be funny for kids” books are. Well-crafted and absurd. Honestly, I have no idea how to “review” this book except to say that I loved reading it. You should read it. It will make you laugh. You could stand to laugh a little more, right?

Favorite Part: The Zombies at the Zoo, because it’s so illustration driven. Or maybe the Phantom parts written to easily singable tunes.

Weakest Part: Godzilla Pooped on my Honda. Not because it’s bad - it’s quite good - it just seems out of place to me.

Religious Objectors Might Object To: Mm … I don’t know. The use of the word “turd”? The Witch Watchers? Really, this is a pretty unobjectionable book as not-stupid kids’ books go.
