My Monster Mama Loves Me So, by Laura Leuck, Illustrated by Mark Buehner


While Halloween is not my favorite holiday (regrets to my dearest family Halloween adorers), this book really got my attention 8 years ago. It is an endearing, monsterly depiction of how love is a verb. A great read aloud in your child's classroom at the Halloween party!

My monster mama loves me so!
Let me tell you how I know....
She tucks me tightly into bed,
then asks me if my spider's fed
and hangs my favorite bat above me.
That's how I know my mama loves me!

(New York: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Books, 1999.)
