This is a great, wonderfully illustrated story!
It will help kids who are afraid of monsters in their room.
A little boy, Jamie, realizes he doesn’t need to fear his monster because the monster, Ishabibble, is afraid of him, too.
The rhymes are fun and kids will love the words, “wobble wibblewoo.”

Author Goodeaux has penned a fantastic rhyming story about a Wobble Wibblewoo, the little green monster, and Jamie, the hue-man.
Wobble Wibblewoo, whose name is Ishkabible, is frightened by what his friend told him about “beings” who would eat him up, and they hid everywhere. Could one be in his room?
Boys and girls will enjoy this whimsical rhyming book and find that Ishkabible is a lovable monster.

This was such a wonderful book! I love how the author was able to teach a great lesson but keep the reader entertained at the same time. The illustrations were beautifully done and definitely made Ishkabibble adorable!

Fun Story with a Great Message
This was a fun and well-written story that addresses the characters' fears at night. More importantly, it expresses a beautiful message, "Even when beings don’t look quite the same, friendship is something that any can claim!" That teaches our young ones to disregard who/what/where a person is from, and judge them for their character. Well done!
