Our review
We found this book nice to look at with its vivid colours and interesting illustrations. It was also a warm- hearted story about a monsters kindness and also about how sometimes, people can be quick to judge others. Both stories had nice endings about acceptance and happiness. In the first story the villagers accepted Mervyn and they learn to live happily together. The second story is about a group of robbers who make the mistake of stealing Mervyn.
My children enjoyed the interesting and brightly coloured illustrations, there were sections where the illustrations and text didn’t match up but the kids didn’t seem to mind. On the whole this was a fun book to read and both girls were happy to read straight through both stories. Definitely recommended.
