Review: The Thing at 52 - Ross Montgomery
Review: The Thing at 52 - Ross Montgomery and Richard Johnson -July 2023
As someone whose job was
reading picture books, it is something that I haven't shaken and now and again
they are exciting and fun to read. It also shows people that picture books do
teach children life skills. The Thing at 52 by Ross Montgomery introduces us to
a little girl who is constantly walking past the house at Number 52 and notices
a lonely monster. She decides to befriend the monster and soon the lonely
monster is no longer by himself as he makes a good group of friends including a
group of other monsters. Books like this show it only takes one person to help
someone be less lonely and often that one person can help others make the step
they need as they might have been nervous as well and hanging back. The other
thing that I loved about this book was that Richard Johnson's illustrations are
some of the most beautiful I have seen in a long time in a picture book. The
Thing at 52 by Ross Montgomery and Richard Johnson is suitable for children
aged 4-10 years old.
