Review
Edgar is bored by Halloween and wants to be something scary so it wouldn't be. When he gets a chance to be a monster he takes it. This picture book has some cute rhymes that take you through Edgar's hopes of being a monster to his becoming a monster. Then at the of the book there are lots of flip pages to turn Edgar into a variety of monsters. The story was good but the best part was the flaps at the end. There are some great monsters you can create with them. The last page had the author's face, which looked a bit on the creepy side, instead of Edgar's so you can turn the author into a monster, not sure if young children will like that. I would give this 3 out of 5 stars.
