Monster Storytime Book List


Halloween is one of my FAVORITE times of year, and this year I found myself especially drawn to one classic in particular – monsters! Cute monsters, specifically. So when we received a few of these adorable Bla Bla Kids monsters from our friend Allie at Rose and Rex I knew it was time for a monster storytime.
We found some coloring pages, made some monster rice krispie treats, and put together our list of books (see below for our recommendations!) Then cuddled up on the couch for a showing of one of our favorites – Monsters Inc ☺
