The Want Monsters and How They Stopped Ruling My World

32 pp. | Shambhala | February, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61180-365-5 $16.95
(4) K-3 "Want Monsters" can be helpful, but also prompt greed and other vices. A child resolves to do something about the fact that Want Monster Oskar has gotten too big. The concept's potential as a teaching tool crumbles under the ponderous narration. The striking illustrations feature thumbnail-size characters against what look like multicolored-chalk backdrops.
