I give Little Monster's Neighborhood 100 stars.

I liked Little Monster's Neighborhood. My favorite part is when Little Monster and his friend have a secret password for their clubhouse, but I didn't like when they raced their tricycles. They were going too fast. I want my friends to read Little Monster's Neighborhood. I would tell them about all the houses in Little Monster's Neighborhood.

A bland story with two pages in the book around a 50s era small-town church which harkens back to a time when people forgot there were people different than them. The Illustrations are still colourful and busy and it is probably a fun book just from those. The monsters are fairly uniform too but there are some interesting variations.

I find the Little Monsters books sort of dull and the monsters not very cute. This one is so out of date - with a milk monster and paper delivery monster coming to their house. The only saving grace is the firetruck. Give away pile.

One of my favourite books as a child. Awesome illustrations of monsters :)
