Meet Toby: a young monster who has skin like a fish, fur like a dog, and smells like cotton candy when he gets excited. He lives with his family in the basement of Marymount Mansion and once a year ventures out into the real world when everyone is dressed for Halloween. Toby becomes frustrated with hiding below ground and sets off on an all-important quest.

The Monsters of Marymount Mansion Review

These fun monsters are charming! The large font makes this a no-brainer for early readers – they’re sure to fall in love too. Cute illustrations are spattered throughout the story to help keep the littles attention. Did I mention that Toby, our main character, smells like cotton candy when excited? Cotton Candy!

Toby, along with family and friends, live in the basement of Marymount Mansion. They look forward to Halloween each year when they get to come out of the basement – who’s going to notice when everyone is dressed up for the holiday? Toby just wants to be accepted and wonders about life outside the mansion. He soon learns the family you choose for yourself don’t have to be alike.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion.
