Who can’t benefit from a little downtime? A little break from the monotony? As young readers find out in Stacie Green’s picture book Monsters Need Breaks Too, even the creatures of lore deserve a break now and then. From Bigfoot to la Chupacabra, they all want to kick their feet up and relax after a long day of sneaking around, scaring, or actively avoiding others. Young readers will find that monsters are really no different from the rest of us as they gather some tips to try out on their own at the end of a long day.

Monsters Need Breaks Too, by Stacie Green, is a unique children’s picture book featuring brilliant illustrations of all of the legendary creatures we have come to know and love. Green’s story takes a different approach to these monsters of old. She humanizes them thereby creating lovable figures with whom little ones will relate. They are tired. They get sad. They need alone time. Young readers will find something interesting and familiar in each monster’s story.

Monsters Need Breaks Too, by Stacie Green, contains softly textured illustrations, a summary of relaxation tips, and a free downloadable coloring page, parents and teachers will find Green’s engaging children’s book an asset to their libraries. I can see Green’s collection of monsters as a wonderful addition to any guidance counselor’s unit on coping skills or part of a theme unit on legends and tall tales. I recommend this one-of-a-kind children’s book to anyone looking for the perfect gift for budding readers or little monster fans.
