Product Description:
Many, many adults name this book as their favorite Little Golden Book. Generations of kids have interacted with lovable, furry old Grover as he begs the reader not to turn the page—for fear of a monster at the end of the book. “Oh, I am so embarrassed,” he says on the last page . . . for, of course, the monster is Grover himself! This all-time favorite is now available as a Big Little Golden Book—perfect for lap-time reading.

I remember my mother reading me this book when I was a child. Now I am reading it to my kids, and they LOVE it! I let them turn the pages, and they enjoy seeing how Grover tries to keep you from turning them. Because the closer you get to the end of the book, the closer you get to the "Monster"....

This was my sons favourite, I always had to read it to him in Grovers voice
and it is now the younger ones favourite as well !!!
It is so funny to watch Grover prepare, fall apart, prepare again, fall apart again etc., scared of the horrible monster he has heard is at the end of the book....only to find........himself!! It is a great, funny, fear calming book.

And this illustrates, it is all in ones ... Read More

NOTE: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT IT TO BE SPOILED!!!
When I found out that the monster ... Read More

So it turns out that the "monster" is actually the protagonist which, while having shades of postmodern antihero angst that wil reverberate strongly with fans of, say, Kafka or Burroughs, really threw me for a loop as a kid.
My two year old, on the other hand, has no problem with this conceit, and wants me to read it to him regularly.
He'll understand how cruel this all is when he get a bit older.
Oh yes.
In the meantime, I'll read it for him over ... Read More

When I was little this was my favorite book. We would read it over and over, and I would pretend I was struggling to turn the pages that Grover had tied, nailed, and bricked over.
So when we had a daughter, this was one of the first books I bought for her. At 2 years old the book sat on the shelves for a while, but she is 3 now, and I recently took it down again to read for her at bedtime. It is now a favorite, we read it every night. I read the pages, then she turns them to give poor old Grover ... Read More
