A Monster for Meg (Giants and Monsters) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

/0 Comments/in /by

A Monster for Meg by Lois Wickstrom is an excellent children’s book! This book is unique in that the main character, Meg is blind. Her big sister, Sue is trying to help her understand what a monster is like using other sense than sight. This way Meg can build an idea as to what monsters are like. Each time Sue describes the monster, Meg relates it to Sue so that she can fully understand what the monster is like. This is such an awesome book about the bond of two siblings and how they navigate Meg being blind. I love that this book represents a severely underrepresented population. I highly recommend this book!

This is a cute children’s book. It is well written and will keep any child engaged throughout. This is about Meg and how she is blind. Her big sister shows her how important senses are at night. A story that will show you diversity and has a learning component as well. The pictures are bright, colorful and interactive for children. This is a great book for any child that likes to read fun books. I highly recommend this book.

Sue tries to explain what a monster is to her sister Meg. Meg is visually impaired. Meg decides that the traits that Sue describes sounds just like Sue. In the end. Sue says that monster hugs are really the best thing about monsters and she gives Meg a big giant monster hug. This book is very descriptive and the illustrations are great!

Monsters are scary especially for kids but Meg is blind so she doesn’t know what they look like. Her big sister Sue tries to describe them using her other senses in ways that Meg would understand. Every time Sue would say something, Meg would relate it to the way Sue would do something. It was funny. I think this story is fantastic in the way that it shows children how yo use their other senses. Most people rely on their sight so it was interesting to see how the author described the other senses. Filled with colourful illustrations, this is a book children will definitely enjoy.

This might be one of my favorite books by this author. I loved watching Sue explain to Meg why monsters were scary, and the Meg come back basically showing Sue that her and monsters were similar in some aspects. The art is beautiful, and the way Sue describes everything for her blind sister is a great way to show kids how to help when talking with someone who is blind.

This picture book will have your kids asking you to read it over and over again. This is my new favorite by Lois Wickstrom. The way she describes the monster but finds a way to compare it is brilliant. The story is out of the box and shows you an insight on how to see things in different perspectives. I recommended to several parents I know already!

A Monster For Meg by Lois Wickstrom is an illustrated children’s story book with sisters, monsters, intrigue, fun, and a little drama- teaching us a few lessons along the way.
The illustrations are bright, colourful, and interesting- and the story was cute. I liked that even though Meg is blind, and her sister tried to scare her a little with ‘monster’ talk- Meg thought through the situation and was able to ‘see’ everything by using her other senses. She was able to think things through and use some logic.
But I have to agree with her, monster hugs are the best.
Happy reading!

A Monster for Meg is a beautifully done children’s book that my five year old son loved reading. The illustrations are very well done and makes it easy for children to follow along. Meg is blind and her sister sue explains monsters to her using different senses. My son loves this author and we usually read the story four or five times in a row. One thing that you take away from this story is even though one may not be able to see there are other ways one can interpret things. Meg may not be able to see but her hearing works just fine. We always look forward to reading this authors stories. Its perfect for readers ages four to eight. Let their imagination go wild. We can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Most kids are scared of monsters under their beds, but what if you can’t see one? Are they still scary? Meg is blind and she’s asking her big sister Sue to describe what a monster is like. Sue describes them to Meg using things that she’s familiar with. Meg gets to learn the best thing about monsters too!

This is a fun book that is very vividly illustrated! It showcases the love of two sisters and focuses on the descriptions of what something looks like. Looking through Meg’s eyes, one might see a monster much differently!

I love books by Lois Wickstrom! They have a great message in them and usually some sort of learning tool as well. These are geared for ages 4-8 but I love reading them as an adult! They’d be great to share with kids, grandkids, daycare attendees, etc!

Once again I have found a good book for children. I only wish mine were little enough for it but I would certainly recommend it for those with small children. This author does a wonderful job of making learning fun and bringing fun facts to children. I like how the author draws upon the readers imagination as well as brings fun to reading. The characters are well written and down to earth. I was quite impressed with the simplicity and light hearted nature of these books. I definitely will recommend these books to anyone with small children.

A Monster for Meg is 34 pages of monster goodness. It is part of Lois’s Giants and Monsters series. It is aimed at children aged 4 – 8 years. The bright and colourful illustrations by Nicolas Milano help move the story along.
What others see as a monster Meg sees as anything but. Being blind puts a whole new spin on what you see without sight. One thing is for sure and that is the love of sisters and hugs.
Lois gives her readers an insight into a world so different from someone with sight and that is done lovingly through pictures and words.

I seriously loved this story. Little sister is blind so big sister is describing what a monster would look like. The descriptions are vivid and the colors in the illustrations are my favorite which makes this my favorite book by this author yet. The ending will grip your emotions and just melt your heart like the Grinch’s. Ooh, such a sweet and cute story. I look forward to new stories from this author.

In the end the best things about monsters is they are a reason for the big sister to wrap her arms around Meg give her a monster hug. Could you scare Meg?
