Warning! Monsters! Two brothers become monsters just in time for Trick-or-Treat. As this hilarious Halloween-based story evolves, you'll find there's a bit more to being a perfect monster than creating a monster costume.
"IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A MONSTER ... You gotta do it right, by Mrs. Mouse, puts a new twist on the old idea that monsters are something to be afraid of, indeed, they might just be what a boy being bullied needs to have around. With characters that come to life, vivid language, and brilliant illustrations, this book will entertain young readers while helping them think seriously about who the monsters really are.

Capture the imagination
“If You're Gonna be a Monster ... you gotta do it right!”
Who else could say that but a big brother!
All Bobby wants is for his big brother to help him get ready for Trick-or-Treat.
All Leo wants is for Bobby to leave him alone.
When Bobby finally pesters Leo enough, his big brother agrees to help—but not with the best intentions.
If Bobby wants to be a Monster, Leo is going to make sure that’s what he is! Using household items,
Leo sets out to make Bobby the most absurd monster he can create. The only trouble is that the real monsters
don’t appreciate Leo’s joke, and let him know about it.
Mrs. Mouse has done a terrific job in capturing the imagination while being very aware of what a house with two boys is like!
In If You're Gonna be a Monster ... you gotta do it right! it’s fun to see who gets tricked and who gets the treat.
The bright, colorful illustrations should make the story attractive to young readers.

A rather cute little story
Here is a rather cute little story of two brothers at Halloween time that teaches a lesson and entertains all at the same time.
Leo, the oldest is always being bothered by his younger brother, Bobby. Leo is playing a video game and doesn't want to help
his brother with his Halloween costume, even though he'd promised. After Bobby keeps pestering him, Leo decides to make
his brother look really silly. Now this might be enough, but Leo goes further by trying to make fun at Bobby with his friends.
That is until some very unearthly creatures decide to help Bobby and take over the chore of taking Bobby Trick or Treating.
If You're Gonna be a Monster ... you gotta do it right!, is an adorable story, told with wit and fun by Mrs. Mouse.
There's a lesson here that most kids won't forget, and the artwork is cleverly done, in keeping with the story.
No kid should miss this story…it has a great surprise at the end.
