Monsters in the Fog Reviews

**STARRED REVIEW**
"The cartoonish humor of the drawings provides a perfect counterpart to the calm, concise language of the tales spare sentences, much as Hakims steady resolve provides counterpoint to the jitters of his companions. With a subtle moraleverything is a monster in the fogthat is rendered playfully but is still thought-provoking."

* School Library Journal *
Plays on viewer expectations, but the real fun comes from the opportunity to guess what the fog illusions really are at storytime. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
The watercolor illustrations are dramatically composed, full of humor, and punctuated with mysterious glowing fog. A book that is perfect for storytime and, with its clean design and accessible text, also for new readers. * The Horn Book Magazine *
'Its hard to knit a sweater with your hooves,' writes Bahrampour (A Pig in the Palace) in the irresistible opening to this parable about curiosity versus fear, 'but Hakim somehow did it,'. . .he books meaning is unmistakable, and even urgent: snap judgments and trepidation are no way to move forward in the world. * Publishers Weekly *
