Max’s messes are legendary-paint on the walls, spills on the floor, crumbs in his fur, and toys scattered everywhere. Max never intended to be messy; there was simply too much to do and too much fun to be had. That is until one day when his mess becomes an uncontrollable monster of its own!

With lively illustrations and playful rhymes, each book in the Monsters on Mill Street series follows an energetic and lovable monster on an adventure filled with chaos and unexpected challenges. Every child will recognize a piece of themselves in Max and the colorful cast of characters on Mill Street.

But wait, there’s more! Because the Monsters on Mill Street series is specifically designed to assist children in developing executive functioning and social-emotional learning (SEL) skills , it’s a treasure trove for parents, grandparents, and educators who are looking to inspire young readers and empower them to overcome life’s challenges.


My Thoughts & Opinions

The Messiest Monster on Mill Street was such a fun and entertaining read. I loved how everything rhymed with a sing-song rhythm. Reading the story aloud just drew big smiles and lots of giggles.

With cute illustrations, the story came to life in such a delightful way. The colors perfectly showcased the main character Max as well as his mountains of messes. I just had a grand time reading the storybook.

Not only is the story fun and entertaining, the book is educational as well. Life skills are taught in a very thoughtful, non-threatening and amusing way.

Overall, I am very pleased with the book — storywise as well as illustrative-wise. Highly recommend it for both parents and grandparents, alike. I certainly intend to get a few copies as Halloween stuffers for the grands. Five outstanding stars.

I received a DRC from ViaNova Productions through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
