Review Author Julia Cook has a phenomenal gift of writing books for children! Her books teach important life skills and are written through a child's view of the world. As an Elementary School Counselor, I have incorporated many of Julia's books into my curriculum and must say Tease Monster is a powerful relationship-building tool. Children will quickly learn the power of words, how people hear things in different ways, and the importance of laughing with someone not at them. Tease Monster should certainly find its way onto your bookshelf if you're a parent, school counselor, teacher, social worker, psychologist, or pediatrician. --Erin E.
