I am always looking for new and funny books to read to my children and ones that my son will want to read himself too (he is in primary one). Big, bright, colourful covers always catch my attention as they look fun.
Monsters Love Underpants, from bestselling and award-winning duo Claire Freedman and Ben Cort, seemed like a good choice for my own little monsters. When the book arrived today I couldn't wait to read it to them but I managed to hold off until bed time. My little girl Sophie was very excited about me reading the book to them that she decided to roar along whilst Liam sat and listened intently.
I settled them down and started to read the story and from the first page I knew they were enjoying it. Every page they were smiling and giggling at hearing about the different monsters and their favourite pants, Liam even read out some words he already knew and he picked up some new words too.
After reading it twice they kids went to sleep happy and will no doubt be dreaming about Monsters who love underpants.
I loved this book too. The illustrations are big, bright and capture the fun of the story. I will certainly be getting the other books from the series.
