Reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of grumpiness, competitive 'bad' behavior, or struggling to appreciate the small things. This cheeky tale follows three tiny monsters who pride themselves on being the biggest rascals in town. When they build a giant monster to help them be even more troublesome, they are shocked to find their creation is a gentle soul who only wants to say thank you for the gift of life and warm doughnuts. McDonnell uses humor and a Zen-inspired approach to flip the script on what it means to be big and strong. It is an ideal pick for children ages 3 to 7 who need a lighthearted reminder that gratitude is more powerful than aggression. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated, vintage-style illustrations and the way the story models mindfulness without being overly preachy.
