The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street

The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street is yet another installment in the cute Monsters on Mill Street series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The rhymes made it so fun and entertaining, that when read aloud to the young ones, it can really be a time with loads of laughs, snickers, and giggles. The illustrations like always are so adorable and full of personality.

The main character in this particular book is Becks who is more fidgety and hyperactive than anyone else she knows. Becks can’t sit still for the life of her. Until one day things get way out of hand and Becks is forced to reckon with the aftermath of her actions.

Like the other books in the Monster series, there is a subtle life learning moment built in. It is sure to resonate with parents and children alike…That it’s good to take some time out to relax and have some quiet moments. That actions do have consequences.

The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street is a perfect book for pre-schoolers who are at the age where social interactions demand acceptable behaviors. Five fun stars.

I received a DRC from ViaNova Productions through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street written by Sarah Sparks and illustrated by Sypha Venders is such a great kids book! I love that it teaches kiddos that is important to be aware of your surrounding, to release energy in a safe environment, and to sometimes sit and relax. I am a psychiatric social worker at an elementary school and will be purchasing this book to read to the kiddos I work with. A lot of kiddos have a lot of energy and this book will help them understand that it is okay to have energy but sometimes it is safer to keep their bodies calm to stay safe :)

Becks is the Bounciest Monster on Mill Street! She absolutely can NOT sit still!! This is a fantastic rhyming picture book full of gorgeous full color illustrations. It’s a fun read and seems even funnier when you read it out loud. I can’t wait to share this with my grandmuffin! Tremendous thanks to NetGalley and Sarah Sparks for a digital ARC of the Bounciest Monster on Mill Street in exchange for an honest review.

I was able to read three books by this Author and in this series and I loved them all. This one was cute and I definitely know that children will love this book because they are bouncy too! I will definitely recommend this to my patrons at the library!

We loved this one so much especially because my sons name is Beckett and he is very bouncy. This book shows how fun it is being bouncy and having a great time but also shows that if we aren’t paying attention that fun affects other people and can cause big messes for ourselves. I have loved all three books in this series that we’ve read and it’s really helped me explain why I’m saying certain things to him because he can take a step back and see for himself.

A very cute book that many children will likely be able to see themselves in. It could help them realize that they are not alone with their abundance of energy and that while there is nothing wrong with that, if they are not careful someone may get hurt. This could easily help a parent redirect them towards an activity to release this energy and they may be more susceptible.

So adorable! Cute and catchy rhymes that are silly enough to promote giggles galore. But teach a simple lesson. My five year old didn’t want to read a book at all, but I started reading and he was transfixed after 3 pages. Then he immediately wanted to read others by the same author.

Perfect book for a family who has hyperactive children! It shows that there is a time & place for high energy but that at times we need to be calmer and work to control our bodies a little more. Loved it!

Another great book in a series designed to help kids be more mindful and calm down. Good introduction into a meditation or yoga/stretching lesson for children to help them center themselves and realize that there is a time and place for unbounded energy, but sometimes calm can help reenergize and channel that energy for good.
