Midwest Book Review

How to Turn Your Mom Into a Monster was inspired by Aurora Whittet’s five-year-old son and his friends and offers a positive perspective of young trouble-makers and their antics.

Parents who look for creative, fun read-alouds for youngsters attracted to funny-looking monsters and picture book stories that include psychological insights will relish this story of how children have about ten hours in a day to turn a smiling mother into a Cuddly Monster.

This account takes the form of a how-to manual that gives clues on how to ‘bother Mom’ that range from flinging her purse into the floor and writing her name on the wall with her lipstick to starting a fake fight with one’s sibling.
The purpose? More bed-time cuddles. But, bed-time is the prime time for resistance…isn’t it?

Kids and parents will relish a funny story that takes many unexpected turns and encourages dialogue and laughter in read-aloud settings.

Too many bedtime and read-aloud picture books are overly predictable. The serious and fun story presented here offers exceptional psychological insights in a fun and different story, not to be missed.
