Review: Mess Monsters



Mess Monsters
Written by Beth Shoshan
Illustrated by Piers Harper

Publication date: 2010
Publisher: Meadowside Children's Books
ISBN: 978-1-84539-238-3

Summary/Back cover:
There are Mess Monsters under the bed!  When they're out, they'll smash, they'll crash, bang and clang, stamp and stomp!  Most of all they'll make a mess.  But the Mess Monsters haven't met Mummy yet...

Who doesn't love a cautionary tale about monsters who love messy rooms, hate clean ones and are scared of your mother?

The text has most of the descriptive words and onomatopoeia in larger, bolder text for extra emphasis.  Another great rhyming scheme and super cute illustrations.  Oddly, the author of the text was not displayed on the front cover, only the illustrator. 

A fun read - 4/5
