About This Book
Reach for this book when your child acts on impulse or struggles to keep their promises when their own immediate needs, like hunger or boredom, take over. It is a perfect choice for navigating the aftermath of a mistake and modeling how to offer a sincere apology without losing your sense of humor. The story follows a well meaning but impulsive Monster who literally eats the camping gear when he gets hungry, leaving his friend Mouse in a bind. Through gentle humor and bright illustrations, it explores themes of loyalty, responsibility, and the patience required to maintain a friendship through mishaps. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 7 who are learning that while mistakes happen, making things right is what matters most. Parents will appreciate the low pressure way it handles conflict resolution and the charming dynamic between the cautious Mouse and the boisterous Monster.
