“[Shortsleeve] rounds up a far-out clan of creatures that go bump in the night (and day)…. Austin’s illustrations have a surreal edginess, both in the style, typified by elongated shapes, skewed angles and contorted shadows, and in the intriguingly irradiated palette…. young readers will likely be entertained.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Step aside Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein. Mr. Shortsleeve is on his way to being our next children’s book star… This wonderful, beautifully illustrated and well-designed book will provide many hours of entertainment for kids, their parents/grandparents, and teachers.” ―Independent Publisher

“With Seussian prose, author Shortsleeve takes readers on a curious tour that’s more amusing than scary, aided by Austin’s colorful illustrations.” ―Janet Boyer

“The rhyming read a-loud poetry is smart and flows nicely…if you can keep from laughing. It is the perfect picture book for Halloween and should be read as a prelude to trick-or-treat night.” ―Kid Lit Reviews

“In this highly useful book, wonderfully funny rhymes, splendid monster names, and clever illustrations are combined to give readers a memorable bookish adventure. If you think there is even a slim chance that you have a monster in your life, you must use this book to identify what kind of monster it is.” ―Through the Looking Glass
