Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli – Barbara Jean Hicks

Monsters Don’t Eat Broccoli is quite simply a fun book.  The illustrations are bold and colorful and all the monsters are drawn in a whimsical manner that reminds me of Sesame Street friends like Elmo and Cookie Monster.  They were instantly loved by our daughter!

The rhyming text is clever and works well with the bright, engaging illustrations.  It seems that monsters are willing to eat just about anything (boulders, tractors,  ships, trees)  with the exception of broccoli, but surprises await the monsters as well as the reader is this light-hearted, engaging tale.
