Product Description
Review
The tone of the text remains reassuring throughout and the mostly smiling characters on this stage are more amusing than frightening. (School Library Journal )
The totem-like monsters are so wonderfully imagined and endearingly silly that they may well defuse youngsters' fears about what's lurking under the bed. (Publishers Weekly )
Strong patterns and knockout colors in Harper's stylized art give this gallery of Wild Things an arresting look. (Kirkus Reviews )

Product Description
You knew monsters were scary, right? But did you know that monsters feel pretty silly wearing just their underpants? Or that a car full of peanuts wouldn't come close to satisfying a monster's appetite? Did you know that if a monster had his way, he'd have something much more slimy than candles on his birthday cake? You didn't know? Well, luckily for you, The Monster Show will answer all your questions about monsters. Grab a seat! The monsters behind the curtain will be happy to show you all that you didn't know, and more.

starring monsters, April 30 2005
By Melissa Sack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Monster Show: Everything You Never Knew About Monsters (Hardcover)
Come one Come all to the monster show. A little girl is the host of this show. She introduces to various monsters and teaches us things that she thinks we might not know about monsters. She tells us that some monsters like to eat toothpaste. She also tells us that not all monsters bite even thought they might have big teeth.
What did you like or not like about the book?

Monsterific!, Jan 26 2005
By JotandTittle "J&T" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Monster Show: Everything You Never Knew About Monsters (Hardcover)
My daughter, aged almost 3, loves the Monster Show. She's not scared of them yet, and delights in all of the crazy, colorful monsters. Harper demonstrates, yet again, her creative, witty talent!

Vividly colorful, creative and fun! A new Classic!, Jan 26 2005
By Sarah Robertson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Monster Show: Everything You Never Knew About Monsters (Hardcover)
My 2 1/2 year old son asks for this book every night, over and over. Charise's art is unparalled in the children's book world right now--highly saturated colors with great texture and detail that small children find absolutely fascinating. We study each page over and over, looking for new, undiscovered surprises. The storyline--a play put on about monsters, by monsters--helps children overcome any fears of monsters. It is sweet, human and upbeat--typical of Charise Harper's work. If you like this book, don't miss Bold Lady--an earlier work which you can sing to your children to the tune of "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly". I absolutely love reading these books to my son, even if its 2-3 times a night--adults will not grow tired of the creative, colorful and rich illustrations either!!
