Reviews"Bright's text and her illustrations perfectly capture the terrifying, compounding fear of being alone at night, hearing an unfamiliar noise, and jumping to wild conclusions. The mostly full-page spreads play up Love Monster's fears and feelings, and Bright uses light and darkness to good effect.Yet another outing that will have readers empathizing with and maybe emulating Love Monster." -- Kirkus "Bright's unique illustrations, created with a technique called solar etching, emphasize the shadows when appropriate, spilling font across the page in a rippling movement that begs to be read aloud... What follows are a series of smaller panels that show how fears can magnify one's reality unless one is willing to face them. VERDICT An endearing first purchase for most collections and a welcome addition to storytimes."-- SLJ, A timeless message of the importance of friendship and the Love Monster's lesson that something "doesn't have to cost the earth to mean the world," this is a lovely book to share around a holiday., "Bright's text and her illustrations perfectly capture the terrifying, compounding fear of being alone at night, hearing an unfamiliar noise, and jumping to wild conclusions.
