The Monster Who Lost His Mean

32 pp. | Holt | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9375-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kirstie Edmunds. When a monster loses his letter M (for "mean"), he becomes "Onster," incapable of being nasty. His friendly behavior results in ridicule from his fellow monsters but makes him popular with humans, and Onster decides his new personality suits him. The bouncy rhymes and digitally created illustrations are amusing, though the well-meaning lessons about individually and kindness are a bit obvious.
