#blogbookaday: Monster Trucks

Summary:  “All monsters love the autumn air,
just right to sneak and spook and scare.
But other seasons of the year,
they shift into a different gear.
Monsters get to work—paving roads, plowing snow, hauling muck—with their monster trucks in this fun, rhyming picture book. With a gentle bedtime ending, this not-too-scary story is perfect for young monster and truck lovers.” (Taken from Goodreads)

Review: Monsters spend much of the fall scaring people around the world, but what do they do for the rest of the year? They drive monster trucks, of course! Take a close up look at your favorite monsters (and trucks) in this adorable rhyming story filled with construction vehicles and humor.

Personal Reaction: This was so cute – a definitely spin on a monster book because anytime you throw in trucks, you’ll get a HUGE fan base. It also makes a great bedtime story as all the monsters go to sleep after a long day on the job. This what a lot of fun to read and would make a great “Halloween” book without ever even mentioning Halloween!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
