Stein into a bright, energetic classroom where the class pet is a big purple boa constrictor, recess is in a swamp, and class bats help build a Creepy Castle in the Monster Maker&#8217;s Lab. When Tornado Jo, a new student, roars into class, a storm is brewing. Who could ever guess that her new best friend will be a vampire, and she&#8217;ll help him find his missing fang? <\/p>\n<p>Award-winning writer Jane Yolen teams up with her daughter, Heidi, to present colorful monster children who have familiar human issues such as making friends and learning to help others. In a final twist, Tornado Jo &#8212; the worst behaved student &#8212; is revealed to be an out-of-control human, not a monster after all. Oh, no! Monsters are more afraid of humans than we are of them! Everybody runs! <\/p>\n<p>Laugh-aloud humor is enhanced by John McKinley&#8217;s highly imaginative illustrations loaded with fun and hidden jokes tucked into the art. An irresistible romp from start to finish!<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong> I&#8217;d like to say its your typical classroom, but it kind of is and it isn&#8217;t. You have a Mummy for a teacher and all your peers including yourself are monster children. It&#8217;s actually a rather cute little book, that I think is ideal to be read around Halloween. <\/p>\n<p>The words and the illustration match the book perfectly. I like that it has a nice little lesson within it&#8217;s pages about acceptance and understanding. I also enjoyed the overall interaction between each of the characters within the book while trying to find the missing tooth. I like that the monster children worked together in an attempt to find it and then the monster child that was least likely to find it did. <\/p>\n<p>I think that any child could enjoy this book. Especially if they  have huge imaginations and enjoy reading about monsters. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Come along with Principal Frank N.
