Review Quotes

The surprise twist that challenges all these monsters will also appeal to the very young, who will find its fun drawings not scary at all, but brightly revealing. - Midwest Book Review


This book is so funny and cute! I just loved the friendliness between all three of the monsters. They are just having a fun time being silly and joking around. I could imagine this exact dialogue between three children. - Luminous Libros


"Nonsense at its best, this tale shows children how some competitions are just plain silly, and promises to enliven story hours" - School Library Journal


The humorous answer and resulting reaction as all three faint dead away, will have children squealing with laughter. Salcedo's highly expressive and lighthearted illustrations keep the focus squarely on these more-lovable-than-ugly monsters, depicting them against a plain beige background. [...] Delightful proof that there is strength in numbers. -- Kirkus Starred Review
