I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Such a cute and colorful book! The story is about a monster with a lot of energy and ways he can use his energy. The book seems to be geared towards 2-6 years of age. The illustrations were also bright and beautiful.

Me and my children enjoyed this story with all the characters within. Its about a monster that likes to bounce a lot. She likes bouncing everywhere. One day she decides to bounce high and high up. But something happens with bouncing to higher up.

This was a fun story to read. It had action and adventure throughout. It had a few giggles within. The illustrations were colorful and went with the story well.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

This book is a wonderful children's book. I would recommend this for ages 3 and up
This teaches about what happens when the bounciest little monsters keep bouncing into things. And how he should try to stay calm.

This was a very bright and colorful book and the main character was simply put, cute. The illustrations were very rich in color. I love the underlying lesson that is within the story. My toddler liked these but he wasn’t overly excited about reading them, however I would definitely recommend for ages 2-6 years.

Pleasantly rhymed, adequately drawn, this looks at an excessively bouncy monster – the kind that can do superlative, and very annoying, bounces – and what happens when it all comes crashing down to earth. This feels a little uneven – the hyperbole of her bouncing and the mediocre slapstick that proves she ought to calm down a bit don't exactly match, and it feels like we're forced to carry on past the ending to see the moral of the piece having an effect. But it's still not too bad – many books have an inferior mix of entertainment and lesson.

I thought this was a cute story. The rhyming didn't work as much for me as it did in the Angriest monster book by the author. It felt forced in some places. The illustrations are still nice and I think it's great to help teach kids how to calm and not have to be moving at every second if they are able to help control it themselves.

This is the story of a monster who has so much energy. She bounces around and gets in trouble for her actions. She takes up jogging as a hobby to cope with all the energy. I think it is a good suggestion and relatable for so many kids.

Another great book in the series. There are a few stanzas where the rhymes and the cadence get broken, but still a top of the line read.

Thanks to ViaNova Publishing, NetGalley,and Sarah Sparks for letting me have the chance to review this book in exchange for an honest opinion. This series of books are a delightful read and I look forward to reading them all with the little kids in my life. Definitely have them added to my wishlist for books to buy for my nieces and nephew. I know they will love the illustrations and storytelling as much as I do.

Wonderful children's story with beautiful illustrations to help tell the story and teach kids some valuable lessons. Parents are going to enjoy reading this book with their children. Should be added to every family Library.

A fun book. Made me smile. Becks learns sometimes it’s nice to not be bouncy all the time. Relaxing and sitting still can be fun, too. She has some interesting adventures and has a little trouble along the way. This helps her understand going slower and sitting still is nice, too. Looking forward to more books in the series. This review is unbiased and my own opinion. I received a copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley.

A very silly story about a monster who does not want to sit still. The toddler laughed at the silly pictures and we delighted in the rhymes.

The perfect book to read with my 4-year-old goddaughter who recently had a fall off the monkey bars. We loved the illustrations and the rhymes are great, even more importantly my goddaughter loves the monsters! Becks gave us a wonderful lesson on how bouncing is fun staying still is good too. I've really enjoyed this series and hope to read more Monsters on Mill Street in the future.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a copy for an honest review.

I read, The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street, to my 8 and 10 year old daughters. They enjoyed it despite being a bit too old. The rhymes and illustrations were great. There was wonderful humor and it was quite enjoyable. We give it a 4.5 stars out of 5! I would definitely purchase this for toddlers through age 7. This message hasn’t been overplayed yet for social emotional intelligence so it was a good take.

Thank you NetGalley and ViaNova for allowing me to read, The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street, in exchange for my honest review.

It was nice book for kids to learn how to control their jumping around. For me there were too many words.

Thank you NetGalley for this amazing lesson for my 7-year old. My 2nd grader Zoe loved this book. She giggled and thought the book was funny like several of the others we have read by Sarah Sparks. This book and the illustrations were delightful as always and with the built in lessons would be perfect for a classroom or home library.

Such a cute book! This one gives a lesson about not being able to sit still and the consequences that can have with adorable monster illustrations. Would be a great book for toddlers.

An excellent picture book to introduce the idea to little kids that it's important to do all things in moderation.

The Bounciest Monster on Mill Street is a story about Becks, a monster who just has too much energy, and while it takes her on some pretty wild adventures, it also gets out of control. In the end, she tries to clean up the mess she has made and finds some less destructive ways to channel all that bouncy energy.

My 5 & 7 year old both gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
The illustrations have a simple and endearing style, and the rhymes in the text make it fun for them to follow along.

Here are a few of the things they said about the story:
- It is teaching you to not always be too energetic and take some time to relax sometimes.
- "I really like how cute she (Becks) is."
- "I was wondering why monsters eat human food."

This was the first Monster on Mill Street story that we read. It does a decent job of threading the needle between encouraging youthful energy and keeping it in check. We shall see if my little monsters take the message to heart.

Book 125 of 200 ~ 2023

Part of a series that I enjoyed... the little momster is one hyperactive one and loves bouncing.

Usually, children's book authors might attempt to rhyme in their books. This is very tricky as there needs to be a rhythm and flow when it is read outloud by someone else, not just the voice in our head.

You may be a decent kid's author or even adult author or port, but that does not mean this translates into a successful, rhyming book for kids.

Kudos to the author and illustrator as they succeeded where I feel many attempted and cannot.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, @netgalley
