Bedtime Stories About Funny Monsters
All monsters are different, but that just makes them more fun. These exciting stories take children of all ages into Monsterland to meet Melton, his girlfriend Shyla, and their friends. Melton is a three-eyed monster made of bright green slime, and Shyla is a green slime monster with one beautiful eye. Funny Monsters share their experiences with children around the world to show what the world looks like from their slice of the world.
Monster Melton learns many lessons that our children may also experience in life. He learns how to lean on his friends for support when bullies hurt his feelings. Many of the stories also show him learning that what he says and does can have a profound impact on other monsters. Never wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings, this kind monster learns how to show others respect even when he doesn't get his way.
Some other lessons that are taught through these endearing stories include:
• When someone is unkind, ask them what’s wrong. You can’t assume that it is always about you.
• Friends are always there for one another and cheer up one another in bad times.
• When you fail, the best thing to do is to try again.
• Our earth is a precious resource, and it is everyone’s job to keep it clean.
All of these funny monster’s lessons are introduced subtly through engaging story-lines that children will find relatable. All of the monsters are friendly and nonthreatening, but they aren't always nice to one another. Through their mistakes in life, they teach human children the best way to live healthy lives and care for other people.
These bedtime monster stories are recommended for early readers, ages 4-8, as well as parents reading to younger children. To get the most out of each story, ask your child questions. Allow them to use their creativity and imagination to enrich the stories as you read. By discussing the lessons learned through the actions of the monsters, you can ensure that each child takes away knowledge that will help them in some aspect of their lives.
These monster stories for kids are the perfect length for passing time in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. You can read stories about funny monsters to your children before bed or use them as a special treat when your child does something well. They are even easy to incorporate into larger lessons if you match the story-lines up with values or morals that you are trying to teach your children.

When we started reading this book, we didn’t expect the monsters to be humanoid. We expected humans plus silly monsters, but that wasn’t the case.
The was a collection of short stories about a green slimy monster called ‘Melty’, and his friends. There were messages in each story about acceptance, telling the truth, being nice, not dropping litter, thinking about other people’s feelings, the value of money, practising something you’re not good at, etc. My almost 4-year-old did listened to the stories, but he wasn’t all that big of a fan really. I could see where the author was coming from, but my little boy didn’t like the characters and stories enough to really take the messages in.
6 out of 10.

Perfect Length for Bedtime Reading by Busy Parents
The wonderful illustrations in this book are well worth its price. The stories are populated with several diverse and lovable monsters who are delightfully original. Each character brings out the importance of individuality and tolerance for others who are different. The stories not only contain simple lessons a young child can comprehend but are just the right length to hold their attention. Their brevity is also an advantage at bedtime, especially for parents who have a busy schedule. I laughed out loud at some of the dialog and look forward to sharing them with my grandkids.
