Absolutely love this book! It feels like a modern-day version of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'! The illustrations are beautiful and engaging, with lots of little clues hidden throughout about where the story is heading. Brilliant for inference and reflecting the realities of different communities in schools.

My favourite part is when they went in the monster's lair and the monster sprang up and roared 'tickle time'.

An adventure to wake up big brother monster

I enjoyed the journey the siblings went through in order to find the monster! In the end they found out the monster was their elder brother Marcus! The ending was funny when dad told Marcus to stop tickling his brother and sister. When he said, 'And if I don't' mum said, 'we'll all tickle you' and they did!

An amazing book about monsters and imaginations.

My favourite characters are Charlie and Eadie because they worked together as a team and helped each other, and kind to one another. But the brother was a little nice to play with them as the monster

The book is very good it goes on and on. When you are not reading it you can still remember it. I like the ideas of the book. My best bit is when Marcus tickled his brother and sister.
