This review is from a sweet little girl named Penelope.

Barbara Bloom's Two books: Penelope Mia's take on your books:
I loved Pixie Pie and I love all things that are pink. I love the way she asked her friend to spend the day with her and I love the clothes they wore. I hope you write more stories about Pixie and more of her friends.
I really loved the monster book so much that I asked my grandmother to read it to me five times. I got just a little afraid when I did not know what the monster was or if the boy would need to run and hide from it. But, I won't tell you what it was because it is a surprise at the end of this book. You have to read it for yourself like my Aunt Frani would say. The pictures in both books were really nice and I hope Barbara writes more books for me to read. Penelope Mia.

My
Personal Favorite September 19, 2012
Last night at bedtime, we had an opportunity to read two new
books by Barbara Bloom. First, we read Here Comes Pixie Pie: Her Special Day At
The Rodeo Fair. We both instantly liked the cover which is pink and girly and
has cowgirls on it. All things we happen to love.
After Pixie Pie it was
time for Run Hide The Monster Is Outside: A Tale With A Twist. I have to say,
while I really liked both, of the two this was my personal favorite. It was a
cute story about being scared of the dark. Most importantly I think, it
explained how often the things we think may be monsters, turn out to be
completely harmless once we turn on the light and get a better look.
The
story itself was written in rhyme and I liked how easily it rolled off of my
tongue.It made for an easy read that flowed well and my daughter had fun
following along with the colorful images that helped bring the story to
life.
All in all, I'd say story time was very successful last night and
I'm looking forward to a repeat!

Run Hide the Monster Is Outside: A Tale with a
Twist
Barbara Bloom
Did you see the shadow that was three feet
wide?
Trying to get me and I hope he does not come in side
Coming out only
in the dark of night
Hoping to scare me and give me a good fright
Oh
No! He screeches and does whine
Trying to get into my window and I am scared
and not fine
Close the window hide behind the door
Find the trap door and
hide under the floor
Where is my flashlight I am holding it real
tight
I hope that the bulb stays on and I don't lose the light
Check out
those green eyes and don't get too scared
I hope that I catch him because I
am getting mad
Dear Mr. Monster I am counting to three
I can promise
you that you will never find me
Don't cough, don't cry or even dare
sneeze
This monster might find you and enter and not say please
But,
how would he get the monster oh dear
Calling Uncle Dave took away from of his
fear
So, just what is this monster can you do the wave
Open your eyes and
try and be brave
Does he find out who the monster is and will he get
caught
I cannot tell you that because you need to find out so don't be
distraught
Once again author Barbara Bloom takes the reader inside the world
of a little boy
Who just wants to have fun and not be frightened by an
monster ruining his joy
Does he ever learn the truth behind the green
eyes
Why did his sister tell him it was dead you should not tell lies
But,
maybe she did not want him to be afraid you see
After all he's kind of little
and not brave like you and me.
The pictures are great and the cover
reveals nothing about the real monster but you never know. You can feel the
excitement in each picture as the little boy races to find the monster his heart
racing and much more. Once again author Barbara Bloom handles an issue that many
parents and kids face when they see shadows at night and think they see a
monster. Find out what happens when you learn the twist at the end.
Let's
give this one : FIVE GREEN EYES!
