This book is about a little boy that is new in the neighborhood and he has an urgent message to tell all the kids. "DO NOT BUILD A FRANKENSTEIN!". The little boy lists reasons not to build a Frankenstein because they are a lot of work, they can get annoying, they require a lot of attention etc. At the end of the book Frankenstein offers to play "Monster Tag" with all of the kids and they all accept him into the neighborhood. The little boy realizes that it isn't so bad having Frankenstein around and he joins in on the fun.
This was a cute book that didn't have any "important" themes or messages but I think this is a great book to get students reading who are more hesitant to read. This book uses text bubbles which may make the reading look less threatening because it appears to have less text to read. From experience, I know some primary level children really enjoy reading comic books and this is kind of like that. The illustrations are also very cartoon like and the colors are very bright. This is a book that I think most 1st and 2nd graders would really enjoy reading out loud.
