The vocabulary and rhyming are very engaging. The illustrations are full of detail and refer to other monsters, creatures from Greek mythology, and folktales. These details kept my fifth grade audience engaged. My favorite poem from the collection is The Invisible Man Gets a Haircut. Students spotted Medusa and the Headless Horseman in the same barber shop.
I read selected poems to our fourth and fifth grade students, and now they are fighting for the chance to check this book out themselves!
