Children's Literature Review
Mina may be small for her age, but she is brave. So, when Mina’s father tells a story about a dangerous monster that dwells in the woods, Mina decides to find the monster. Though the setting is imposing, Mina is undeterred, determined to do her best to locate the monster before returning home again. Carefully crafted text and illustrations depict an exquisite, wintery expanse so vivid that the reader can almost detect a chill emanating from the pictures. Sophisticated vocabulary abounds throughout the text, as well, inviting young readers to acquire new words while enjoying the story. Though the fact that Mina does not actually find the monster may cause children to wonder at the purpose of the book, the story is a worthwhile read nonetheless. This is a visually engaging addition to library collections for young readers.
