When most people think of monsters, they think of scary things. Mixing monsters and Christmas might not sound natural. In this story, it is sweet. All of the monsters come together at Christmas to spend time together, share treats, and keep the holiday spirit. When a monster is discovered alone in the woods, the other monsters come together to make a new friend and teach him the spirit of Christmas.
For such a long picture book, this was pretty fast moving. The story is sweet. It is all about having a happy, thoughtful mood at Christmas and sharing time with friends. If you are looking for a fun, crazy story, this is not it. If you are looking for a story to teach kids that Christmas is about welcoming everyone and spending time together, then this is a good one. The illustrations aren't what I normally would go for in a picture book, but I did like them. The colors were perfect for Christmas.
