Book Reviews of There Are Monsters Everywhere

Book Review: Mercer Mayer is the greatest children's book author ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up with Mercer Mayer's little critter, little monster, and Professor Wormbog books. As a kid, I'd sit and look at these books for hours examining all the illustrations and reading the stories over and over again. Not one to be a huge book reader as a kid, these books grabbed me and pulled me into a world of fascination and taught me to love books and stories. No other children's author has had such an affect on me. That said, I do not actually have this book, I just ordered it and Ive not read it previously, but knowing Mercer Mayer as I have all my life, I felt compelled to respond to the reviewer who said that this book is scary to children and that the author is "amaturish". The is the most off-base comment anyone could make about this amazing author. His books are so popular, even generations later, that people are collecting them like crazy on ebay. His out of print books sell for hundreds of dollars each and are highly prized by collectors and people who remember how much they loved them when they were kids and want to share them with their own children. It surprises me to see anyone make negative comments about this author who is so deeply beloved to me and so many others. If you are not familiar with Mercer Mayer, then pick up one of his books even at the library and see how amazing he is for yourself. Do not go by one person's unfounded, bad review. Mercer Mayer always writes books from a kids point of view, rather then trying to convince a child that monsters arent real, because like another reviewer said, you cant convince a monster fearing child that monsters arent real, this author looks at life from the child's perspective and teaches them that not everything that seems scary actually is. It also shows kids being brave and learning that often the moster is just as scared of them as they are of it. Mayer's different stories take different approaches to childhood fears which is good because not every kid is the same and the same approach may not work with every child. Its clear that the author himself feared monsters as a child. I will state again, that in my opinion, Mercer Mayer is both the greatest children's book author and illustrator of all time and kids and adults are enchanted with his books. At 37 years old, I still am.

Summary of There Are Monsters Everywhere

What kid doesn't suspect that there are monsters lurking under the bed, behind the shower curtain, in the basement, and even outside by the garbage cans? Mercer Mayer brilliantly and hilariously captures this classic childhood fear?and conquers it! Kids will cheer as the young hero of the story takes matters into his own hands by learning karate. Soon he has the monsters running scared!

There's a Nightmare in My Closet and its two terrific sequels are cherished favorites that have amused millions of readers, and continue selling year after year. Now Mercer Mayer has created a fresh new story and fabulous illustrations that will thrill and empower kids, a story that taps into a universal experience but with a super satisfying, karate twist!
