A scary monster follows this boy to school. It turns out he's friendly, not scary, and no one can see him except the boy. Throughout the school day the monster gets the boy into trouble and then helps him out it, especially with a bully. First the monster trips a bully, who threatens the boy with brutal retaliation. But, when the fight is about to start, the monster scares the bully away. At the end of the day, the monster stays at the school and the boy is more confident.
It was cute, the monster is fun. I thought the story was only OK. It really focuses on the bully. If this useful, a child might really enjoy this. But, otherwise it's just a silly story.

This story is appropriate for K-1st grade. This is a fictional story that tells about a boy who finds a monster living on his block. No one believes that he sees the monster. When the monster follows him to school, the little boy gets in trouble for all the damage the monster causes. Eventually, the monster is seen my the class bully and the school principal. Things start to return to normal for the little boy after the monster decides to stay at school.
