What Monster Would You Buy

Blog & website of children's book author Tara Lazar What Monster Would You  Buy? On National Read Across America Day, March 2, I Skyped with Mrs. Mozer’s third grade classâ€"which is sure to become an annual tradition, this being the 2nd year in a row. After sharing Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” with the class, we joked about my upcoming book, THE MONSTORE, and I asked them to pretend they were going shopping. “If you could buy a monster at The Monstore, what would it look like? What special monsterly talent would it have?” Their answers are amazing. I wish I could actually buy their imaginative creations! They hear all secrets, they complete homework, they give gifts, and they shoot cupcakes. They’re as cuddly as a cloud, wiggly as Jell-o, and black as magic. And just like THE MONSTORE story, some of their monsters are used for sibling annoyance. Thanks again to Mrs. Mozer’s entire 3rd grade class for the special day and the cool monsters! Now onto to monster parade, part uno! The second installment will post tomorrow. Enjoy, and be sure to leave a comment for the students of 3-M!
