I Am Scary
by Elise Gravel
I read this book to my two granddaughter's who are One & Two . I also read it to my 4 year old daughter. All three of them LOVED it ! It has the funniest, friendliest looking Monster. Nothing scary at all about it and the story is fun to read. I love the flow of this simple story. The author writes in a way that is easy to read out loud. And omg the illustrations are too cute!! This is such a funny and cute board book for little readers.
Parents - you will love because it is the PERFECT length for a very young child.
I highly recommend getting this book. Many thanks to the Publisher , the Author , and NetGalley for a ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

An adorable little board book about a monster with huge eyes, sharp claws, and a loud "Grrr!" Surely everyone will be scared of him! Um, not so much. The child who comes across him in the woods isn't phased in the least. I loved the illustrations here - whimsical line drawings with just a splash of color!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion. It will be available on March 17, 202

This book is so adorable! I requested it because I had a feeling my toddler would enjoy it. I read it aloud and he loved it.

The illustrations are charming in their simplicity. Told with very little dialogue, this book is about a monster who tries- and fails- to scare a child. He roars, growls, and shows off his horns and teeth. To the monster’s discomfiture, the child thinks he’s cute. What’s a monster to do?

What I liked best about this book was the ability to prompt my toddler to talk about the pictures and make conclusions based on what was happening. Because there isn’t much dialogue, my “little” made the monster sounds, talked about how cute the monster was, and had a lovely time. The book would probably be even more riveting to a slightly younger child, but my toddler still really liked it.

This would make a great baby shower gift. I recommend it for all little book lovers- in-training.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Orca Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a kids book very young. Sort of lacks substance but I guess I should have expected that. Why isn't she afraid? It is a board book. 3.5 stars. I am sure many kids will love

This was a cute read that the students in my classroom really enjoyed! The illustrations were excellent, as well.
