I am sorry but I have to disagree with the 96% of the people who liked this book. In today's society, having someone say that they loathe someone else is not appropriate. Isnt there enough hatred and loathing in this world that we dont have to teach it to our children as a bedtime story? Regardless if it is a story about monsters or not, to deem it as an endearing quality and a form of "love" is misleading. I would be upset if someone told my child that the loathed them because it was in a bedtime story that their mother read to them.

I read this book in the book store and actually read it out loud and there was another woman there who gave me a blank stare. She thought that I was joking and making up a story. At least at this point I knew I wasnt the only one to think that this is the wrong message to send to our children.

I loved this book for several reasons. First, because of the plot of this book. It is a play on parents saying how much they love a child. Instead it is a monster telling its child how much it loathes it because that is how this monster family shows affection and they enjoy things that most people loathe like mosquito bites, weird smells, and flees.

Another reason I liked this book was because of the writing. I really enjoyed how the book rhymes throughout it and it gave it a sort of bounce when you read it. For example, "I loathe you more than slimy rats, more than frostbite, skunks, or bats!"

I think the message of this story is that parents will always love their children no matter what. Often times children are afraid if they get one bad grade, or they do not do as well at a sports game as they wanted. They think their parents will not love them anymore but in reality parents love their children more than they realize.
