Go Away, Big Green Monster!

<< Prev page

Ed Emberley

Personally, I'm not that big on books that are meant to teach young children things. I would much rather see children learning from real life experiences; but, every once in a while, one of these concept books comes along and I just can't say no. Go Away , Big Green Monster is one such book. Technically, it is a color book, each page teaching about a different color. In reality, it is an exceptionally fun book that allows very young children a chance to feel very powerful; and, in my view of the world, this is a pretty welcome feeling for a preschooler when all the world is bigger and more knowledgeable than you.

Here's how the book works. On the first page, the paper is all black and the words in white read, "Big Green Monster has two yellow eyes." Two thirds of the way up the page there are two yellow eyes showing through die-cut holes in the black paper. As the story continues, the monster grows more and more body parts (with the help of more die-cut holes). Finally we are faced with a pretty funny, trying-to-be-scary-but-not-really-scary-monster face. At this point the words read, "YOU DON'T SCARE ME! So GO AWAY, scraggly purple hair!" From here on, each page is subtracting a scary monster feature by telling it to "GO AWAY!"

By the end of the book you've gone through each color twice and there is no more monster; and, in fact, the monster is admonished to "GO AWAY and DON'T COME BACK! Until I say so." If you have a preschooler who is grappling with the power forces of his/her world, this is the book for you. I can't imagine anything more fun to a power hungry two or four-year-old than telling a monster to go take a hike and having it listen!
