Book Synopsis

Blue Monster wants to play with Rabbit – but Rabbit is sleeping and doesn’t want to play. SO… what should Blue Monster do?

Blue Monster does something you should NEVER do and then… he does it again and again!

Now he DEFINITELY has no one to play with! He feels sad, lonely and VERY guilty. But when Blue Monster opens
his mouth and YAWNS… what a surprise!

Things may get better after all! If Blue Monster only says he’s sorry.

A wonderfully funny and surprising picture book about friendship and forgiveness, that’s perfect for reading aloud.

Our Review Panel says...

This is a read-aloud book that demands that the reader find a voice for the Blue Monster and a voice that conveys something of the character’s charm, even though he eats anyone who won’t play with him!

The illustrations capture each character’s feelings, and seeing Blue Monster’s body language change as he becomes more and more embarrassed and guilty is a joy! The approach to solving friendship problems is clear and simple, and one that could easily be used with a class of children.

This book is so simple and enjoyable. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story holds a powerful message that is given gently and humorously.
