This one is really cute. Think of the polar opposite of Guess How Much I Love You, make it rhyme, and cast monsters for the characters. Funny!

Very cute "loathing" book. Would be cute to do for a twist on Valentine's Day.

Gross yet sweet and reassuring story for little ones. Parents will always love you, no matter what.

Cute and humorous in a way monster-loving kids will enjoy.

LOVE!! I'll be using this book in my MDLV literacy class when we do our "Love it or Loathe it" writing activity. A perfect little book!

Great play on the "I Love You" stories. Great rhyme and rhythm, and funny illustrations.

The illustrations are wonderful - very cute! While an adult will understand this, I'm not sure a child would. I don't see it being a good book for storytime. Maybe one-on-one with an older child.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with the 96% of the people who liked this book. In today's society, having someone say that they loathe someone else is not appropriate. Isnt there enough hatred and loathing in this world that we dont have to teach it to our children as a bedtime story? Regardless if it is a story about monsters or not, to deem it as an endearing quality and a form of "love" is misleading. I would be upset if someone told my child that the loathed them because it was in a bedtime story that their mother read to them.
I read this book in the book store and actually read it out loud and there was another woman there who gave me a blank stare. She thought that I was joking and making up a story. At least at this point I knew I wasnt the only one to think that this is the wrong message to send to our children.
