There's No Such Thing!

This rhyming picture book by Tony Mitton offers a playful take on 'creepy creatures' and the idea of things that 'aren't supposed to exist.' The story centers around a spooky party where various monsters, despite their supposed non-existence, make an appearance. The book handles the concept of monsters with a light, humorous touch, ensuring it's more silly than scary for young readers. The rhythmic text is engaging and makes for an excellent read-aloud experience, perfect for children who enjoy a bit of playful spookiness. It's ideal for a child who is curious about monsters but might be sensitive to genuinely frightening content. Parents might reach for this book around Halloween or when their child is exploring imaginative play with 'not-real' creatures. The repetitive structure and clear, simple language make it accessible for early elementary children to follow along or even attempt independent reading. It stands out by transforming potential fears into a source of fun and laughter.
