The illustrations could keep me in thee pages all day. So fun and a great colour pallet. The bonus bad ass heroine... cherry on top.

Adorable! Big illustrations, easy to read text, and a plot that sees a little girl besting her two brothers (although not in the way you might expect. This is perfect for a girl that has brothers who pick on her or any child that feels like they are bullied. Little Bo proves that she's brave; not only in her actions, but also in her ability to understand that what might seem like a monster might not be one after all.
The Kraken is my favourite of the 'monsters', although most children will likely gravitate to the dragon. I do like that there is the option of three creatures that a child has to choose from as their favourite.
An easily accessible children's book that has a nice simple feel to it. This comes from the use of only 3 colours, plus black (used across different shades so it feels like more colours), in my opinion; but also from the easy to read and understand text. A great book for a child starting out to read or one that might be likely to memorize lines or words (especially that ROAR! page, always fun with toddlers).

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

Big adventures for a little knight-to-be! I adore 5is illustrator’s style, and it was great to see her take on an original tale. Her monsters are just perfect - not too scary, but odd and wonderful.

Cute story with great illustrations. I Can Catch a Monster is a story about a girl who wants to go monster hunting, but discovers all the monsters aren't actually bad.
