Morris is a monster who loves zombie bowling, worms, and anything gross or disgusting. Simone is a little girl who loves flowers, puppy dogs and anything cute. When Simone ends up in Morris' world, she is in for a surprise. The monsters run away from her. She is too cute, too happy and likes strange things. In this monster-world everything is topsy-turvey. Even though Simone likes everything that scares Morris, and Morris likes everything that is gross or scary to Simone, they become best friends. They have fun and like spending time together.

This book is made up of comic strips. Each page is a new topic or strip. The book jumps a little from Christmas to summer, but I think that children will be able to relate to each story. There is school, Halloween, Christmas, sports and much more. This would be a good book for those reluctant readers in a late primary, or early junior classroom. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

What a great comic book created by Remy Simard with little one page stories about a little girl living in a world of monsters. First off, I love that the main character is a little girl living among monsters, getting pooped on by stars and dressed up in a garbage can. Such a great book to remind girls that they can be gross and stinky and silly. Also it’s a perfect choice for your reluctant reader as each page is a one page comic/story making it a quick and non intimidating read and a perfect choice for a reader just strengthening their reading muscles. I was and still am a huge fan of Archie comics and would have loved a book like Simone when I was first learning to read, I enjoyed Mr Mugs books but would have loved something with a bit more character to it. At the heart of it all, kids want stories that make them laugh and Simone does just that.… (more)

Simone: The Best Monster Ever! is a very colorful comic strip book about Morris the monster and his friend Simone. Simone is a small human girl, and the monsters are afraid of humans.

I found it cute at first, but each page is a new comic and it became a bit monotonous as it goes on. It almost seems too busy for younger kids to read and follow. Still worth reading for those who enjoy short comics.

3***

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
