Opis

Enjoyed by Grownups & Children Alike There is nothing more fun for a parent or grandparent than watching their child learn to love to read and write and at the same time banish vexing problems. That just what the combination of the two books The Monster on Top of the Bed and My Monster on Top of the Bed do. And, you can prove it yourself by buying the $2.99 Kindle edition or downloading a free .pdf review edition here: http: //1drv.ms/ZMMwf8 Yes, the author lets you read the .pdf and even print the .pdf version of this book. This lets children write out their story out without buying anything. (Leave a review, please.) Buy the paperback edition so children write their story in a "real book," and put their name on the cover as the author. A Companion Book My Monster on Top of the Bed is a companion to Alan H. Jordan's book: The Monster on Top of the Bed comes free when you purchase the paperback edition. In this edition, children become the author by writing their own story directly on Manuela Pentangelo's illustrations. Children glow with pride when they put their own name on the front cover and title page of this book. If you're not familiar with The Monster on Top of the Bed, here's a synopsis: Once upon a time there was a little girl named Suzy, who used to jump up and down on her bed having just a great time. This scared a young critter named Karrit who lived under Suzy's bed. But, Karrit heard Suzy do all sorts of nice things for people, and he wanted her to be his friend. Still, Suzy ate strange things like cakes made out of pans (pancakes) and the toes of toemays (tomatoes) and-he couldn't believe it-he heard her talk about eating something truly horrendous. One day Karrit heard Suzy tell her mother that she was lonely and needed a friend. Because of that Karrit decided to visit Suzy, and Suzy got to meet him. At first Suzy was scared of Karrit. After all, he had red, scaly legs, and a blue nose, but he seemed a little scared too. Suzy treated Karrit the way that she would want to be treated if she had gone to his house. Suzy figured out what was confusing Karrit, and she was sorry to have scared him. She showed him a hotdog (she didn't eat dogs that were hot) a tomato (she didn't eat the toes of matoes) and a carrot (she definitely didn't eat Karrits). Suzy made Karrit feel that she liked him, and that she wanted him to be happy. Because of that, the two of them played. They kept getting to know each other better until one day they both realized that they didn't have to be afraid of each other, and that it was a mistake for each of them to think the other was a "monster." Suzy and Karrit became best friends, and neither was afraid of monsters again. Inspiration Flows The child's own story can be written without looking at the back of the two-story book, or it can be guided by The Monster on Top of the Bed, a story that has delighted children for years and lets a child discover how making a best friend can go a long way to dispelling the monsters that live under, and on top, of a bed. (The Monster on Top of the Bed appears in the back of the two-story book-the child's story comes first so the child's book can take center stage. When children write their own story, they feel a sense of pride. Have you ever seen children when they are excited about a story, any story? They ask to be read the story over and over again. They are even more excited when the story is one that they wrote. Fire up children's imaginations. . . Show a child a printed or Kindle edition of The Monster on Top of the Bed, then, ask them to make up their own story. Not only will writing their own story help the child express his or her creativity, it will help them read better and banish monsters on demand, which will help both children and their parents sle
