Monstar Makes A Wish is the 3rd Monstar book we've read, and it's another fun story featuring the two children Jon and Jen, and their fluffy pet Monstar. Written by Steve Cole and illustrated by Pete Williamson, it's light-hearted and exciting, and has more than a little dash of fantasy and ridiculousness.
Monstar Makes A Wish is a Red Band Early Reader, suitable for a reader who is becoming confident, but still wants some support. The book has 80 pages broken into 7 bite sized chapters, and there isn't enough text on each page to intimidate the reader.
The illustrations are bright and fun - both my boys really enjoy reading Monstar books, and have really taken to the characters. It really is lovely to watch my 6 year old read aloud to his brother before bed.
Monstar Makes A Wish is one of our favourites, a real fun read and not at all 'babyish'. The magic lamp is an object all children know, so when Jon and Jen find that their parents have invented their own - complete with a robot genie, it enthralled my boys and everyone wanted to know what happens next. I shan't spoil it for you, but I think you can guess it doesn't all go perfectly smoothly, and there's an opportunity to learn a few life lessons along the way.
Monstar Makes A Wish is published by Orion Books and has a recommended retail price of £4.99. Available from all good book shops, and online.
