Book Reviews:

"The title says it all and who would know better than a real monster -- or monsters. A delightful story for any child who has ever been taunted by an older sibling." - Judy Miller, author of Hidden Treasures (Website)
"IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A MONSTER ... You gotta do it right, by Mrs. Mouse, puts a new twist on the old idea that monsters are something to be afraid of, indeed, they might just be what a boy being bullied needs to have around. With characters that come to life, vivid language, and brilliant illustrations, this book will entertain young readers while helping them think seriously about who the monsters really are. " - Linda Aksomits, author of the Gopher Gulch folktales (Website)
