Booklist - 02/01/2026 This delightful early reader combines humor, friendship, and playful anticipation into an engaging read-aloud. When Monster meets the dino, aptly named Puppet, they immediately decide to perform a show. Puppet takes the lead, instructing Monster to tell jokes, dance, and sing—but the requests keep coming, each more demanding than the last. The fun of the story lies in anticipating what Puppet will want next and seeing how Monster responds, reminiscent of Mo Willems' Pigeon books. Colorful illustrations bring each character and comedic moment to life, enhancing the story’s kid appeal. Beyond laughs, the book subtly explores underlying topics of being too bossy and the fine lines of friendship, encouraging children to consider when to say “enough.” Monster and Puppet make a hilarious duo, and readers will cheer for Monster, laugh at Puppet’s antics, and enjoy the anticipation of what happens with each turn of the page. A clever, lively, and thoughtful addition to any beginning reader’s bookshelf. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
