"If you dare to travel beyond the closet door and into the land of the monsters... you might just find the very best reward of all. But with robots, lava pie, and a smattering of traps-catching monsters is no easy business!

"Is there a monster living in your closet? Are you brave enough to catch him? Whether you're looking for Halloween kids books or a great bedtime story, parents and children alike will love sharing this fun and inventive picture book, which reminds us that things aren't always as scary as they seem."  --the publisher

I think this one is a little better than "How to Catch a Mermaid." I give it three out of five stars.

"Many claim to have caught a mermaid, but can YOU? How do you catch a mermaid? You must be very clever. With mirrors, crowns, and pearls galore, this quest can't last forever!"  --the publisher

This is a bestseller and highly rated, but I thought the rhymes and the story were forced. It is a fun subject for a picture book, but I was disappointed. Two out of five stars from me.
