Most adults don’t really get this book , but I like it. It makes me feel so naughty to torture small Grover by flipping the page. “Ha ha, I knocked down that brick wall. Oh, you better worry, I just ripped out persons boards you nailed up. Oh, you don’t want me to turn the page? Well, I’m going to anyway…” What fun.
I do have some concerns with it though: should children really be reading this kind of literature? In a “No Means No” society, should we be planting such thoughts into the fragile, impressionable minds of the future. It concerns me that the first sentences some children read are strangely sadomasochistic. Really, throw a leather hood over Grover’s head and place a zipper over his mouth and you’re his instant dominatrix. So, keep this book hidden in your dresser drawer, or you might run the risk of building a fifty mile go back and into the world every Saturday morning to visit your small boy in the state prison.

I was pretty disappointed with the condition of this book…although the seller did say some wear and tear it was pretty terrible and I paid something like 7 bucks for shipping to get the book sooner…it was a gift…well it took a week and a half..nearly 2 to get here. Won’t buy from this seller again

So it turns out that the “monster” is really the protagonist which, while having shades of postmodern antihero angst that wil reverberate fervently with fans of, say, Kafka or Burroughs, really threw me for a loop as a kid.
My two year ancient, on the additional hand, has no problem with this conceit, and wants me to read it to him regularly.
He’ll know how cruel this all is when he get a bit older.
Oh yes.
In the meantime, I’ll read it for him over and over and over and over, and never get tired of it.
