Karen Foxlee
- Reading
- Preview the opening and any illustrations if possible, then check in as the book develops. Let the child pause or continue according to their response to the book’s actual tone.
- Themes
- Monsters and imaginative threat: The title frames the book around a guide to monsters and a named worm associated with “wrath”. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, consider whether your child enjoys stories involving monsters or worms, and whether they would welcome uncertainty about the intensity of the encounters until you have previewed it.
