PS
"Some monsters are afraid. / Some are not." Page by page, Milgrim lists contrasting quirks and habits of monsters. However, they are all "absolutely, positively, completely, perfectly wonderful... / just the way they are!" The message is a familiar one, but it is reassuring for even the littlest children. Drawn boldly and brightly, these monsters are more adorable and wacky than frightening.
