What was the best or your favourite part of the book and why?

Zach C - The disco because we have discos at school.
Zach D - The monsters on the swamp, because the monsters pants fell down, it was funny.
Dylan - The monsters in the swamp because the monster was filling his underpants up with slim.
Thomas - The monsters trying on metal underpants because he was holding heavy underpants and they might fall down.


What was the funniest or scariest part of the story?

Zach D - The monsters in the sea because they look like dragons.
Dylan - The monsters in the sea because they are wearing jewellery on their pants and girls wear jewellery.
Thomas - The monsters on the moon, because the spaceship got a clothesline of underpants.

Which character would you want as your best friend?

If you could change one thing about this book what would you change?

Zach C - I would make people in the book and make them look funny in underpants.
Zach D - I would make the sea monsters look like people with long necks and long tails.
Dylan - I would make the desert monsters horns into big fat ears.
Thomas - I would make the moon monsters have spiky feet to stripy feet.

Why do you think the author wrote this book?

Zach C - To entertain us because monsters aren't real and monsters would wear underpants.
Zach D - To entertain us because monsters aren't real.
Dylan - To entertain us with monsters wearing underpants.
Thomas - Because she thought it would be funny.

Overall

The mystery of the first page and what was to come had the children's attention straight away. By the second page they were all laughing. With each new monster the children were discussing the different types of underpants each monster were wearing as well as the different shapes and sizes that monsters come in. The children were very entertained by this book, each page they were talking and telling me what was different about each monster or that it reminded them of another animal.
At the end of the book the children were all informing me that monsters aren't real but it was funny they were all wearing underpants.

Special thanks to Simon and Schuster Australia.
