He's Been a Monster All Day

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cyd Moore. Overhearing his mother say, "he's been a monster all day," gets a young boy thinking about doing things monsters do, like ignoring rules and manners. But monsters also scare people away, and loneliness helps him resolve to be a little boy instead. Moore's colorful, imaginative, and not-too-scary illustrations leaven this familiar tale told in lackluster rhyming couplets.
