I've had to buy several copies of this book over the years. It is one of the most used books on the shelf. I have a daycare in my home and I have found that kids of all ages love this book. It's simple enough for the youngest child, but fun enough for the older ones. The colors on every page are vibrant, but not distracting. The kids have had me read this book often. They love anticipating what piece of the monster is coming (or going) next. And because of the way the pictures are set up, they can help me read the book and help me with colors as we go along. A fun book all the way around. |

I've been a fan of Ed Emberley's books since I was a child and used his series to learn to draw. My son loves this book - we've already gone through 3 copies of it! We've also had several friends ask us for copies for their own children - haven't met one yet who doesn't like the book. And, it's great for kids who are afraid of monsters since they can tell the Big Green Monster to GO AWAY and he does. Also great for groups of kids who enjoy yelling GO AWAY at the top of their lungs. A definite must on the kids' shelf. |

My son's preschool teacher told me that my son, who is fascinated by all things scary, was choosing this book every day at preschool, so I bought it to see what it's about. Basically, each cut out page constructs another part of the scary monster's face (big yellow eyes, purple scraggly hair, sharp white teeth, etc.) until the whole face is visible; then, each page deconstructs the face with the order to "go away, big yellow eyes!" "Go away, purple scraggly hair!" and ends with "And don’t come back... unless I say so." What a wonderful illustration of facing, deconstructing, and controlling your fears! |

Big Green Monster is the hit of the late night lineup... bedtime stories that is! Our son isn't even a year old, and he stares with mouth agape, eyes alight and lots of giggles. Each night as we start our going to bed ritual, my husband and I run to see who gets to this book first. The interactive appearing and disappearing facial features are so charming, even for Big Green Adults. Grab an extra one for a shower gift; we're so grateful someone gave it to us! |

My boisterous just-turned-two son absolutely loves this book! We get loud and crazy and have made up hand motions to go along with each page. The fun nature of the text cleverly disguises a lesson in color recognition-bonus! If your child is anything like mine, this book will need to be enjoyed with a parent-the pages have cut-out sections. My son would have them torn to shreds in no time if we left it in his hands without supervision. This book is a winner! |

I'm a second grade teacher for English Language Learners. The newcomers to the country loved this book as well as children who have already been here a couple years. The book is easy for them to understand and uses predictable language and basic vocabulary (sight words, body part, and colors) as well as fun words like "squiggly". After hearing it just once they were excitedly reading along with me and later asked to read it on their own. The cut out pictures make the book fun and as the body parts disappear they read along. They loved the ending "and don't come back until I tell you to!". I am ordering this book today and I highly recommend it for any parent or educator of children ages 2-7. |

I'm a children's librarian. This book is so incredibly popular with my library children that I order a dozen copies at a time. Its simple, bold graphics are extremely pleasing, and the children love the cutout pictures. I frequently use this book for story programs. The first part of the book builds the monster by adding one facial feature at a time. I usually ask the children what the facial feature is or what color it is. The hair is purple, the face is green. When the monster is complete, I ask if they are scared. They never are. Then we get out our pointer fingers, shake them at the book, and in our bossiest voice chase that monster away. The book ends with the children telling the monster not to come back until we say so. Whenever I read this book to a group, I invariably see children rereading the book on their own. Usually half the children want to check out a copy of the book. Because the graphics are so good, and the story so strong, even very young children can "read" this book to themselves. I love to see the children sitting at tables, shaking their fingers at the book, and gruffly telling that bad monster to "Go away." I highly recommend this book because it is empowering, it's fun, and it's a great book to teach your child to love books. |

I am a kindergarten teacher who regularly reads this book to my students. They love to trace the cut outs and make their own "big green monsters". As a grandmother of a three year old, I have enjoyed introducing her to the fun of this book. It is one of her favorites. I am now going to buy the book for my youngest granddaughter who is just turning two. |

Remarkably, the previous reviewer's comments regarding content duplicate my experience with this children's book. My granddaughter first found this book when she was three years old. She immediately goes back to that same shelf each time we visit the library to see if "Go Away Big Green Monster" is available. She is now four years old. Since it is rarely available, it is time she had a copy of her own. |

My kids love this book. We found it while looking for Go Away Big Green Monster. It is a great opportunity for kids to put on the mask provided and tell what makes them happy, sad, angry, etc. I was delighted to discover that each of them named each other as things that make them feel glad and loving. I highly recommend it! |
