See what people are saying about Clyde the Monster!
“Gaynor does a fantastic job of taking a traditional kids story of a monster under their bed and flipping it around. Not only is it a great story for parents or teachers to read to their kids, but it is also a jumping off point for the discussion about challenging your own thought patterns and ensuring that people of all ages step back and take another look at their environment.”
“This book had become a fast favorite in our house! My husband called it "amazing poetry" and a "real gem" after reading it for the first time with the kids tonight. Clyde is already living in our 6 year old's imagination and we love how Clyde pauses to question his scary thoughts. What a beautiful book with subtle mindset coaching delivered in thoughtful rhyme!“
“This is an excellent book for kids! I highly recommend it for early educators as it provides opportunities to share ways sof reducing stress and anxiety in other situations, and improve health & wellness. A very thoughtful, fun book! As an educator myself, this is now my #1 choice for gifts for children.“
“Clyde the Monster and the Kid Under the Bed is a brilliant story not just for children, but hosts learning for adults too on how to question our thinking so that we don't create our own "monsters". Gaynor has done a beautiful job with her well written prose and intentional wording to build out insightful ideas. Angela's artwork is stunning and adds depth and meaning to Gaynor's words. The discussion questions for teachers, parents and guardians at the end of the book is pure brilliance to support on-going learning and growth. A great New Year’s gift to buy!“
