This fun story takes an unusual spin on the monster under the bed idea. It’s a fun inclusive story with incredible illustrations. Any child would love this fun and fast-paced story (I would have loved a monster under the bed like this).

I have read a few of these authors’ books to my niece and she loves them. This book teaches you how to face your fears with a cute little monster. My niece loves that the pictures for the story go so well with each other. She loves all the bright colors that make the story fun.
This little girl is afraid that there is a monster under her bed. She goes to bed that night and a red monster comes out and tries to get her. What will she do? This has a very cute ending.

I honestly love Lois Wickstrom’s children’s books not just for my kids but for me. They are always so nicely illustrated and such wonderful stories that have a neat little twist. I know as a mom of two little boys I would love to have a monster under my bed that has to do whatever task I tell him to do, that does it in a whirl and it’s done. The ending made me hope that another book would be about the girl’s brother finding the “they don’t exist” monster under his bed. Lol

This is another cute fast read by Lois Wickstrom! It is packed with bright, colorful, detailed illustrations that help you visualize the scenes and get more involved in the story. The Giants and Monsters Series Books can be read as standalone, but they are all cute and entertaining, so I’d suggest reading them all. This is the third in the series.
My Big Red Monster is a fun children’s story about a girl who is afraid of the monster under her bed. After the monster taunts her about doing bad things unless she gives him jobs to do, she finally confronts the monster and stands up to him, allowing herself to overcome her fear. She then sends the monster to her brother’s room, because he didn’t believe her when she told him she had a monster under the bed, so hopefully now he will see for himself.

This is the story of a girl and the big, red monster that lives under her bed. Her brother doesn’t believe that there’s a monster under her bed, but there is! She finally gains the courage to face the monster and she has to give his tasks in order for him not to eat her. She makes him do all of her chores and then when there’s nothing left for him to do; she stands up to the monster and sends him over to her brothers room. I really love the illustrations in this book…they are bright and funny. This is an adaptation of a Hindu teaching tale and I think that Wickstrom does a nice job. I always love how Wickstrom is able to weave lessons into her children’s books in ways that kids are going to be able to grasp and understand. This is a great addition to any bookshelf!

My Big Red Monster (Giants and Monsters) by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and she’s done it again with this cute read. Its the story a little girl who is afraid of the big red monster under her bed. Her brother thinks she’s dumb and doesn’t believe her. The monster tells her he won’t attack her if she will give him jobs to do and keep him busy. That is easy at first but becomes harder and harder. The morale of the story is becoming friends with people who are difficult to be friends with and to conquer your fears. Its such a great book I’m planning on getting a couple for Christmas gifts. Such a talented author!

Another cute book from Lois Wickstrom! This one is about a little girl who’s afraid of the monster under her bed and her brother doesn’t believe her. My granddaughter is 5 and loved the illustrations and thought it was a good idea to make the monster clean. The ending wasn’t my favorite but it works. My granddaughter is a huge fan of Lois Wickstrom and gets excited when I tell her we have another story to read!

My Big Red Monster(Giants and Monsters) is a children’s book by Lois Wockstrom. In this story, we follow a young lady who has a monster under her bed. She tells her brother but he doesn’t believe her so she must figure out what to do on her own. This story is great for teaching young children problem-solving, imagination, and how to overcome their fears. The illustrations are fun as well. This is also a very good story about taking back your power.

Clever story about a monster under the bed and allowing it to drive your fear. Liked how the girl gathered the courage to confront the monster and drive away it’s power. Great illustrations and I liked the attention to details on the walls and rooms.

What a cute and colorful world Lois has created in her story My Big Red Monster. I love her books. They always tell the greatest stories and have such great world building. My nephew is 3 and he loves the bright pictures and the “monster voice” I use for the monster. I absolutely recommend this book for a classroom or library, it’s so awesome.

Lois Wickstrom has such fun children’s books. This one is up there in my favorites. Monsters don’t exist or do they? In this fun adaptation, we learn to face our fears. The big red monster wants to work or he’ll eat you. Will you be able to find him enough jobs to keep him satisfied?

This children’s book was cute but not one of my favorites by this author. I read it to a 3 year old and she loved the pictures but wasn’t a big fan of the story.
A little girl thinks there is a monster under her bed and her brother doesn’t believe her. Her monster is there and scares her until she isn’t afraid of him anymore.

What a super cute read. Me and my kids really enjoy all the boos done by this author. It’s about when things or monsters are under the bed and how you can deal or figure out what to do. How to be brave and not scared of everything. The illustrations and story of this book fit very well together. The pictures were colorful and amazing, my daughter really loved the monster in this book.

Once again this author impressed me with her writing skills. In this children’s story, there is a big red monster hiding under the bed. As the little one tells her brother, he says there are no monsters. When she confronts the monster, he says he is hungry because if he does not get chores he will eat her. Read this story to find out what happens next. This is such a cute story. Children will love this bed time story. It is a fast read, yet interactive. It also introduced chores, I love it!!

I’ll start by saying- I need a Big Red Monster so I can tell it to clean and do things for me! This book has beautiful illustrations and tells the story of the monster who hides under the bed.This monster isn’t there just to scare you, but it needs you to keep giving it chores and things to do so it won’t eat you. This is a great read-a-loud for young children.

My Big Red Monster is part of the Giants and Monsters collection, but they don’t have to be read together. I normally love the authors books, and while this book was cute, it is not one of my favorites. The main character has a monster under her bed, but her brother doesn’t believe her. After having her monster help with chores, she sends him over to her brother’s room. Guess he will learn first hand the monster is real! The book is short, and geared toward preschool/young elementary. My son is 7 and I would say that’s about the max age for engagement. The illustrations are wonderful and bright and detailed. I loved the slobber dripping from the monster on one of the pages.

This is an adorable story about monsters hiding under the bed. The illustrated characters look real and I like the details on what the monster looks like. It’s scary but not scary for a book. The monster actually looks nice. And there are dust bunnies under the bed like you would find in a kids room who didn’t clean very much. I also love the sign hanging on the girl’s wall! I didn’t know the book was based on a Hindu teaching take by the same name. It’s an interesting adaptation!

Lois Wickstrom is a wonderful story teller. She has a very vivid imagination and the stories are wonderful for children of all ages. The Big Red Monster is no exception to that. A great story along with fabulous illustrations brings the monster in this book to life. Brothers who don’t believe in monsters under the bed, Beware!
My Big Red Monster (Giants and Monsters) is a children’s book by Lois Wickstrom and it was a good read. I was able to set my grandson on my lap and read it to him. We loved that the book taught a valuable lesson to the readers as things are not always what they appear. The monster truly is not that scary and together they were able to go on an adventure in the city.
Lois Wickstrom truly gave children a book that helps them learn about overcoming fear, building friendships, and makes it fun for children to read. The illustration in the book was also amazing and very well done! We loved the book and highly recommend.
