Reviews
This book was hilarious and really made my class giggle. They especially enjoyed that the teacher Miss Hunt ended up telling the monsters off. I would recommend this to Early years because of the counting to 10 aspect of the book.
The last teacher became a teacher for the monsters.
I only like some of the monsters. I liked the pink monster eating the bearded teacher the best. When the flying monster grabbed the girl teacher was my most interesting bit. I would recommend my family reads it.
I liked the name dum dum - its funny!
I liked it because it was funny and about monsters.
It was funny because the monsters ate the teachers up but Mrs Hunter shouted don't eat me and told them off!
There were 10 teachers and they missed their last bus . Then they went through the forest but there were some monsters over there. Each monster ate each teacher but they didn’t eat one. The teacher was very angry with the monsters.
Funny book enjoyed the story
it was very funny i could not stop giggling through out the book!
Great
I liked it when the monsters got told off by Mrs Hunter.
Fiction. Mrs hunter because she stood up to the monsters for being naughty. The monsters ate the teachers for tea. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
I didn't like that the teachers got eaten but did like that they learnt to be good.
One of my favourite books, I like it when the teacher try’s to teach the monsters at the end
It was really really good. It was hard but I like challenges!
I liked it because grandma was a teacher
Yes I would recommend this to my friends.
I enjoyed it because it counts down in numbers and it is a rhyming story with a little twist at the end
I did like it a little bit but not as much as some others
Fun book to read
I really like monsters and this was a good counting book!
I was scared of the monsters
It was funny because monster ate the teacher but at the end there was a happy ending
This is a fiction book. I liked it because the very last teacher is really angry with the monsters and teaches them some manners when they are double the size. How can she be so strict with the monsters and not be scared?! She is a great character.
I liked the book because it was very funny when teachers were gobbled by monsters.
They ate them.it was very good.
Loved this book!
I liked finding all the monsters and would love to go to the monster school at the end!
I was scared of the Monsters.
The best bit is when miss hunter says STOP THAT AT ONCE!!!
I like it because then the monsters studied
I liked it because they took the teachers and then the monsters studied
