My eldest son loved the 1st one of these. He wanted it read over and over. It's best of course to read it with a a Grover tone of voice or and change of voice, silliness abounds of course but kids love this book and the 2nd one with Grover and Elmo. My eldest son who is on his 30's eventually memorized it. I'm giving both of them found here on eBay together as original Golden Books to his son. I'm sure my Grandson will love these books. A plus is he has an older sister and I'll write them both when I send these to my Grandson their Daddy loved the 1st book until he had it memorized and make sure you use your Grover and Elmo voices. A Classic all children should have in my opinion. Children are growing up way to fast. The monsters they see now are true evil, the Sesame Street monster in this book, the writing won't scare, isn't vile filth, and is funny stuff for adult kids too.Read full review

Don't purchase as a gift. Mine had writing in ink on the inside cover to someone.....I was wishing I would have spent the extra money for a new one. It's great if it is not a gift for someone....

I was an elementary school teacher for 23 years and this book was always a class favorite. After I retired, I substituted for a while and read the book to a class of bored sixth graders. They liked it so much they agreed to do a tedious math assignment if I would read it again. The book's language is simple enough for the very young to understand yet the humor appeals to all ages. Grover's unfounded fear of "the monster at the end of this book" touches a universal nerve in all of us. His discovery at story's end speaks volumes about the very human tendency to overthink things.
This book was a childhood favorite of mine, which became a favorite of my own children and now, I will be introducing it to my grandchildren. A terribly adorable and fun book starring Grover. Whom begs for you not to continue turning the pages of the book, and building elaborate obstacles to prevent the pages from being turned. Only to discover at the end of the book, is lovable furry old Grover himself, the Monster at the end of the book... My children adored this book, especially when I used my "special hysterical monster reading voice" . This book is number 10 in the list of 100 all time favorite children's book and was also Sesame St best seller!
I had the original 1971 book of it . Guess it's packed away. Bought it for my youngest daughter 34 . Bought it for my First Grandson now waiting for my great grand kids to come along to read to them. You will love this book. I was surprised that it got to me as quick as it did. And for it to be used it is in great condition.
