I adore Graeme Base books, so was super-keen to get my hands on his latest one, The Amazing Monster Detectoscope.
This is a beautiful large, hardback book featuring a little hero puppy who has a house full of monsters, and sets about facing his fears by finding them with his Detectoscope.
As he journeys through the rooms of the house and outdoors, the reader is able to open up the viewfinder to reveal the hilariously horrendous monsters lurking about!
When I read this with my two younger daughters for the first time, we were all so amazed at the attention to detail, and marvelled at the monsters that were hiding. Some of them gave us quite a shock (in a good way!) as we didn't know what to expect.
The element of anticipation makes this book a real winner.
I'm sure that any young reader would enjoy slowly turning the viewfinder to see what is hidden.
This is a book that will be read over and over again in our household.
The Amazing Monster Detectoscope is available this October, and has a RRP of $29.99
