Quit Calling Me a Monster!

By Jory John

Book Overview

The talented creators of I Will Chomp You brilliantly frame the struggle to buck stereotypes and learn empathy in this monster's hilarious lament. Floyd Peterson is so much more than shaggy purple fur and pointy monster teeth-- why can't people just see him for him ? Jory John and Bob Shea have struck gold in creating a knee-slapping, read-it-again story that will start a valuable discussion about how we treat others and how it feels to be seen as "different."

Great for around Halloween or ANYTIME

I borrowed the book from my schools library for my girls. I read the book before hand so I could see how to change up the voices, add expressions, etc. OMG....my girls didnt want me to take it back. They ask for it still. My girls are 6 yr (K) and 9 (4th). Before I took back to the library, I suggested the Teacher (I assist in room) read it to the class during read aloud. They loved it too (2nd grade). I turned it in that next day with a student checking it right back out. ABSOLUTELY recommend!!!!!!
