Book Review: Let the Monster Out by Chad Lucas

It might be the "creepy" factor that will interest kids in picking up this book, but it's the layers to the story and the complicated, authentic characters that will keep kids reading.

Post-it Note Reviews are a great way to display books in your library or classroom, a way to let kids recommend their favorite titles without having to get up in front of everyone and do a book talk, and an easy way to offer a more personal recommendation than just the flap copy offers.
