This board book, along with the other books in the Hazy Dell Press Monster Series, is thoughtfully crafted to appeal to parents, guardians, librarians and teachers as much as it appeals to children. And there's an underpinning lesson as well: since monsters are made-up in our imaginations, they don't have to be scary at all. They can be as silly and nonthreatening as we want them to be.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Popular among the surging demographic of \"geek parents\", this book is a fan favorite at Comic Con events among parents who identify as nerds--and are actively raising their kids as nerds-in-training.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Awards and accolades for Monster ABC include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moonbeam Gold Award - Best Alphabet\/Counting Book (1st Place)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Seattle Times ShopNW Holiday Gift Guide \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e GeekDad Christmas Gift Guide \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e PDX Parent Magazine Holiday Gift Guide \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e NW Kids Magazine Holiday Gift Guide \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Willamette Week Holiday Shopping Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 30 full-color illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Much longer, more robust and detailed than most children's board books\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Hefty, durable weight \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Board Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hazy Dell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996578707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 5.90w x 1.30d","brand":"Kyle Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646957154460,"sku":"9780996578707","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c3279957-1d56-4c45-956c-8daa5b039bf0.jpg?v=1603865649","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/monster-abc-9780996578707","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
