Reviews/Quotes

And suddenly, green monsters seep from under my bed! They invade my sleep and attack me like an army. I scream, kick, and fight with all my might, but they are unstoppable. With her brave hat on, my little sister stands on the bed like a warrior princess. She grabs her magic shield and pulls her sword from behind her back. Standing strong, she bellows, "GREEN MONSTERS BEWARE BECAUSE HERE I COME!" Remembering my mom's sad face, I hold it a bit tighter and promise to never let go. And then I think, perhaps my little sister isn't so bad after all. || REVIEWS: Monster Slayer is the story of little Gladys Elizabeth who has one very annoying problem: her little sister Annaliz! Every day it is something: On Monday, when they go shopping for dresses, Mami wants to buy a matching pair for both girls...but Gladys Elizabeth is not a fan of the idea. So on Tuesday, she tries to pay her neighbor $1.25 plus her little sister in exchange for one of her neighbor's new puppies. The week drags on with Gladys Elizabeth getting in trouble day after day. Until Friday night arrives and with it a terrible nightmare! Green monsters are on the attack, but Gladys Elizabeth shouldn't be afraid because her champion is close by.... ...Monster Slayer also comes with full text in both English and Spanish. It is the third book in this series featuring Gladys Elizabeth as a child. I love that all of Barbieri's books focus on values and lessons that children must learn. Parents and teachers will appreciate this book as a tool for teaching about family relationships, tolerance, and sibling rivalry. --Mommy Maestra (Feb. 2016) Intended for young readers ages 4-8, Monster Slayer / Exterminadora de monstruos is a bilingual English/Spanish picture book about sibling rivalry. A young girl harbors frustration with her pesky younger sister, even going so far as to say out loud, 'I wish I didn't have a little sister.' She is chastised severely by her mother, and at night terrible green monsters disturb her sleep! Can anyone slay these nightmarish embodiments of envy? Gentle and heartwarming, Monster Slayer is highly recommended. --Midwest Book Review: Vol. 26, Number 4 - April 2016
