This book by an Illinois author is about a monster who seeks to find the help his town needs. They need help getting rid of the monster. I love how clueless this monster is,  it makes this story fun and heartwarming. Especially when he goes ask the witches and the ogre and the unicorns for help. But all of those individuals want something from the monster. Something the monster can’t give them. So Monster goes home feeling they failed. But it turns out they did the exact right thing. The words and the messages are fun, but what really sets this book apart are the illustrations. They’re soft but comfy like a warm blanket. They’re colorful and just feel like love on the page. Overall, this was a great book that I could see being handed down through generations.
