My Monster and Me

Product Information

In this delightful picture book, a boy introduces both himself and his monster, who has been with him for as long as he can remember. It is big and bossy and has a tendency to get in the way and stop him doing what he wants to do. It also hides itself from his parents. And nowit is enormous.

The humor is aimed at, I would guess, five through fifteen-year-olds but is actually kind of funny, even for this 55-year-old. Q What sort of stories do you read at home with your own children? And do they have any favourites? The huge, yellow monster is lying on a cushion on the floor, next to the boy’s bed, cuddling a small panda and snoring VERY loudly! Renata’s wren encounter proves magical, one most children could only wish to experience outside of this lovely story. A My publishers suggested Ella as the illustrator and I’m so glad they did, I LOVE her illustrations – she really got the message of the book.

I’ve written recipe books with stories and I love writing for children, so it’s been exciting to work on my first picture book.

Naturally, they all ignore this and, unbeknownst to Kate, some of Norman's fur ends up in her cookie mix. She then wins the competition and lands a spot on a top cooking show. Already feeling the pressure of being on TV, she then learns the truth behind her success…

Norman (performed by Matthew McCoy (Episodes 1-6) and Sean Masterson (Episodes 7-26), assisted by Fiona Gentle, voiced by David C Collins) - A purple monster who is a bit of an oddball and is the only one who can't talk; instead making bizarre noises though Fiend and Haggis can still understand him. Giving name to your emotion, understanding it in pictorial form, ways to ask for help is something that can help young children better deal with 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 in them.After watching one of Kate’s appearances on a cooking show, which goes disastrously wrong, the Monsters decide to launch their own TV network. They begin filming the family as they go about their day-to-day activities and want to report on stories outside. So to keep them indoors, Eddie convinces them there is another monster in the house called "Jamumzy". Meanwhile, Kate's cooking disaster makes her an internet sensation but for all the wrong reasons. The nice thing is that this show doesn't talk down to kids like a lot of US programming does. I suppose that there is some educational content—such as learning to get along with those who are different from you, and living with a sibling that likes to make things hard on you— but it doesn't preach these concepts.

I wrote this book about a little boy who sometimes finds life very hard because of how he is feeling. And everywhere that the boy goes he is followed by a huge, yellow monster. Let’s find about the boy and his monster together.is written by award winning and very talented author Nadiya Hussain and this book is published by Penguin Random House Canada that talks about 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 children. Honestly, I can't count how many times I have read this book so far with my kids and still it didn't lose its beauty and attraction because its message is very clear and super cute illustrations make it suitable for ages 3+.
