Cultivating an aesthetic for my language arts class this morning.
I was today years old when I realized what this metal badge means. 🤦🏻♀️😂
I came across my childhood metal badge collection a few weeks ago and was showing it to my brother tonight; this one fell out of the box and I commented that I‘d always thought it was kind of dumb. I mean, why does it say OK! like that? He said—“Well, it‘s what‘s at the end of ‘a book…‘” Yes. Yes, it is. 🤦🏻♀️
Even though it scared the s**t out of me, this was my favorite book as a kid. I 100% believe this book is the reason I love all things spooky-horror-Halloweeny.

I'm sure both of my parents read to me as a child, but my dad was undoubtedly my favorite because he would do all the voices. His Grover from the tagged book was a star performance - though I'm sure I remember it more from him reading it to my younger brother rather than me.
My husband and I also discovered that me reading The Phantom Tollbooth out loud seems to be a great cure for insomnia.

Check out Kim‘s book review on this weeks Manuscript Monday. https://www.bookinterrupted.com/post/manuscript-monday-the-monster-at-the-end-of...
I‘m not kidding when I say, I love this book. Yes, there are much more “important” books, like Frankl‘s Man‘s Search for Meaning…but if I had to choose just one title, I‘m going with the lovable, furry old G! This book still cracks me up and I love trying to imitate Grover, which I do very poorly…I did not appreciate the version where they added Elmo to the mix. If I were ever okay with 🔥 books, which I‘m not, that would be the one! 😜
When you get home and find Grover is up to no good.
I was a guest story reader at the library's end of summer reading/first floor renovations celebration today. More photos and description here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-monster-at-the-end-of-this-book

Books that made a deep impression on me
This book was published the year I was born, 1971. My mum read it to me and I read it to my kids. Now I read it to my kindy kids at school. ❤️
@CarolynM @MrsMalaprop
I downloaded this in iBooks for my granddaughter. It‘s really cute. I think she will have fun with it.

Litsy! My mom is so awesome. After my post about this book yesterday, I was lamenting the fact that I no longer own a copy of one of my favorite children‘s books and she bought me this special edition at B&N today. 😍😍 It even has a special pull-out Grover poster. 😭😭
My all-time, always-and-forever #monster book. I really need to buy myself a new copy. 💜💙

My absolute favorite #monster book. 💚 If you've never read this, find a kid and read it with them today.
#screamathonphotochallenge Day 18. @4thhouseontheleft
The very best book about monsters ever. #ScreamathonReadingChallenge #ChillingPhotoChallenge #TeamSlaughter
My daughter used to LOVE this book when she was about 2. Someone brought it up today and DH and I cracked ourselves up reciting it from memory. (She‘s almost 9.)
I re-read this on July 12 & gave it 5 stars. This was one of my favourite books as a small child. I picked it up as a gift for a pregnant friend and could not resist reading it again. I always loved the oddball muppets like Grover & Gonzo. Anyhow it‘s a cute & fun book for kids.
finally this is the original not so scary monster book that generations of children have loved. grover spends the story terrified about the mister at the end of the book, begging the reader not to turn the page. but kids know better- grover himself is the monster.
I remember, they had a red white and blue old fashioned tub we all like to sit in to read.📖🇺🇸

This was one of my favorite childhood books.
Discovered that one of my favorite Golden Books was republished as a board book. We got it around Christmas, and have read it at least once a day ever since.
And yeah, a wall didn't work for Grover, either.
Congrats on the litfluence @IamIamIam 🎉
According to my mom, my favorite book as a kid was this one. I got it again when my oldest was little and it's very cute! I'll have to find it again for my newborn 😊

A childhood favorite that I remember reading at our cottage in the summer. Both my kids enjoy this one, and my 6 yo really gets the humor. My favorite bit is the embarrassed Grover at the end. 😈🎃👹#callingallthemonsters #octoberxfiles
I read this to my English classes last week, because in I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, the main character talks about her favorite childhood book. We had a class discussion about our favorite childhood books, and then I read this to them because it was one of my favorites. Continued...
My favorite #monster. #blackcatchallenge @Clwojick
This pic from seven years ago popped up in my Facebook memories today. I bet I read this book a million and one times to my little bit. She had it memorized and was "reading" it herself in this pic. She was two ??
Day 1 of #boardbookbonanza I loved all the Grover books when I was little and I had to have them read to me multiple times a day!! I still love them and recently realized that I have three copies of this book, the regular book, a mini version and a pop up version!
