Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli

This book is told in engaging rhyme, with lines like, “and we crave our fish ‘n’ ships,” this title will have adults chuckling along with kids. Also, the bright, rhyming text is perfect match for these eye-popping illustrations. The monsters come in such a rainbow of color and pattern. In short, the book offers great humor both in written word and illustrations.

I do love eating broccoli!

A cool book showing readers what monsters might eat including giant bridges, cities, etc, but definitely not broccoli. Come the end, we find that it's just kids who were pretending to be monsters and refused to eat broccoli but later thought them to be trees and enjoyed them instead.

52 months - This book was fun but just didn't wow us to the point of "have to own it" which is my criteria for a five star or "nice to have" for a four star. The best part is getting into chanting Monsters don't like Broccoli! Oh and the art is not my favorite style.
