Monster's too extreme; No Responsibility Included; Dad is strangely a by-stander *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018* I am very frustrated with this book. It is well-intended and might be good for a few children, but it is not what I wanted it to be and not appropriate for my 4 year old twins.This book is written for kids with extreme problems acting out. Kids whose only need right now is to deal with the shame they experience after they've calmed down.The message of the book is that Mom still sees the boy inside the monster and loves that boy even while the monster is acting out. To make this point, they make the boy/monster's behavior extreme and continuous for a whole day. I realize some kids go through day's like that, but it's the minority. It is certainly far beyond the 30-60 minute tantrums I get from my kids. The behavior in the book feels like it would give my kids additional, more destructive ideas about how to act out when they are mad and trying to upset other people.Yes, it is important to reduce the shame that kids feel about making mistakes. But teaching them they are still loved is only the first lesson for kids that act out like this. I was looking for a book that includes more than this. This book includes very little story telling about what to do after the monster is gone. No examples of being responsible for behavior, or cleaning up messes, or taking care of people that "the monster" might have hurt or upset. At the end of the story, the authors just have the boy interact with people he wronged as though nothing ever happened.Maybe some kids are so out-of-control that they need a book like this that is just focused on being loved and getting past the shame. I think the description of this book should be clearer about that target audience. Most kids are much smaller monsters than this, and most parents will be looking for a book that demonstrates taking responsibility after a tantrum is through.One final note -- As a single father, I am saddened by the complete focus on the MOTHER loving the boy. Dad is in the beginning and end of the story, but he is NEVER mentioned as seeing the boy, or loving the boy, or supporting the boy. It would've been so easy to include Dads as loving parents, too. Instead we get a weird, passive, by-stander for Dad. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~~ A mother loves at all times ~~ *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017* Hee Hee! If you are a parent or anyone caring for children you will surely be able to identify with this story! This 'monster' does not want to get out of bed but when he does you had better beware! His poor mom takes him to Kindergarten and on the way he tells the neighbor how much he loves his flowers but is going to pull the petals off and put them up the neighbor's nose! Uh Oh! Like a typical mom, she loves her little boy regardless reassuring him that he is still loved no matter how he behaves. She soothes him and the end of the story definitely shows a different little boy from the previous day.Well written? Yes, for the most part. I did find the following:"With monster strength, I tug if free,...." It should read, "I tug it free..."Other thoughts.... Depending on your parenting style you may or may not like this book. Let me warn you that there are NO repercussions shown for the boy's bad behavior.WARNING: The Kindle version of this book is NOT suitable for all devices so please check the list above to make sure you are not disappointed. I downloaded this and read it on my Cloud Reader as it will not work on my Paperwhite. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute but not for everyone *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017* I think this is a cute book and would be incredibly awesome for kids that have various emotional or other struggles, as it shows a kid that wakes up and is having a super bad day. It’s an inner “monster” that he has trouble controlling...i.e., his bad behavior. Working with kids with various learning and emotional disabilities, I can see that this would be great for a kid who feels, at times, that they aren’t always in control of them self.I didn’t, for myself or my kids, like it as well. I really disliked the behavior this kid demonstrated and there was no point of consequence or even saying I’m sorry. Yes, it’s a book, but for small kids books are great way of reinforcing lessons and I did t particularly agree with this being “lesson” for mine.I thought it was nicely done. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102632230-today-im-a-monster-a-cozy-picture-book-about-love](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102632230-today-im-a-monster-a-cozy-picture-book-about-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
