  • The perfect book to read together

    Megan S. - 2 years 11 months ago

    Looking for the perfect book to read with a little one? Never fear! Lovable, furry old Grover is here! Join him in a fourth wall breaking adventure to figure out WHAT...or WHO is at the end of this book. I won't spoil the ending for you, but I can promise there will be drama. There will be suspense. There will be GIGGLES. You can't go wrong with this one.

  • A twist worthy of classic Shyamalan

    Ernest D. - 4 years 3 months ago

    Featuring everyone's "lovable, furry old" pal Grover, The Monster at the End of This Book is a walk down the dimly-lit alleyways parallel to the sunshine of Sesame Street, an existentialist horror yarn that invites the reader to serve as the engine that propels the suspenseful plot to its harrowing apex. . .and its Serlingesque conclusion. Our story begins as Grover confides to his closest friend- that would be you, Gentle Reader- a stunning piece of intelligence: lurking at the end of this very book is a monster! But worry not, however, because Grover has erected a wall worthy of Gandalf at the Bridge of Khazad Dum to keep it at bay. But the Reader is left with a moral, metaphysical quandary- is your duty to remain with Grover-your pal- behind the barrier or do you fulfill your duty as a reader and continue on the path that author Jon Stone has laid out before you? If it is the latter, do you still continue to demolish Grover's ever-the-more intricate fortifications with each turn of the page though it causes Grover to experience sheer terror? And all the while, The Monster lurches closer and closer to the end. . . I won't spoil the ending (in my opinion, a twist worthy of classic Shyamalan but one my then four-year-old daughter swore she saw at the title page, but whatever) but I can say this: The Monster at the End of This Book is a great introduction before tackling heavier- if that's possible- works by Kafka and Lovecraft. So grab your blanky and tell Mom and Dad to make room in the middle of the bed for you: this is 24 pages of expertly-crafted horror.

  • A wonderful book to read aloud!

    HPB S. - 5 years 10 months ago

    This book is so much fun to read with little ones. My little brother asked to read it again and again, and he giggled the whole time. This book is perfectly silly and the perfect length to hold a young one's attention. I cannot recommend it enough! #SummerReading
