|summary=A big googgly-eyed monster is not the cutest of creatures especially when you compare him with cute fluffy kittens or bunnies. That does not mean that monsters do not have feelings though and actually all monsters do want to feel loved. In this lovely , entertaining book we meet one of these monsters who is determined to find someone who will love him.

'In the blink of a googly eye … everything changed.'
as As he is about to get on the bus and notices the monster of his dreams. So maybe love was waiting around the corner after all.
This really is a heart warming story and one that shows that hopefully every creature, however unattractive they might appear at first sight, will find someone to love them. It is also quite thought-provoking for young children as the story demonstrates what it might feel like to be a bit different and to feel left out. When we read the book, both my daughters felt sorry for the little monster but they did actually find him quite cute too. This is really due to the fabulous illustrations which are bright and bold and provide the monster with both a hideous appearance and a certain charm.
