The ten pictures provide over 200 differences for the reader to find. Chris Mason, the author, came up with such a wonderful idea wrapped around adorable monster pictures, which is the perfect theme for any season, but especially now since Halloween is just around the corner. The illustrator, Vladimir Cebu, did a wonderful job of providing fun, creative, and very colorful pictures for readers to try to find all the differences between the set of pictures provided. The monsters aren’t too scary, so the pictures are fun to look at while trying to find all the differences. An answer key is found in the back of the book for each picture, so you can compare your answers to the answer key provided.I loved how much fun I had trying to spot all the differences between the set of pictures Chris Mason and Vladimir Cebu provided for their readers. Ten Terrific Monsters Spot the Difference Activity Book is one that can offer hours of enjoyment for readers of any age. I am an adult reviewer and I had so much fun seeing just how well I could spot all the differences in the pictures. Some differences were easy to see immediately, while with others you might need a little more time to spot the differences because the illustrations were so detailed. Overall, I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone loving Spot the Difference activity books.5 stars Reader's FavoriteHere is what readers are saying about The Many Marvelous Mazes of P is for PhoenixLife is like a jigsaw puzzle; you have to see the whole picture, then put it together piece by piece!— Terry McMillanLife is full of many stressful obstacles. To help combat these unexpected events, a person must set aside time for themselves to relax and recharge to be able to continue to move forward. There is no better way to find rest and happiness than in the pages of The Many Marvelous Mazes of P is for Phoenix a Maze Book.A unique aspect of this book is that it features an alphabetic format. Each letter is connected to a word and is then associated with a maze. The puzzles are both fun and challenging. It will help your mind focus on an activity that doesn't cause any distress. A bonus includes the beautiful illustrations that you will find with each puzzle. I was amazed at how these beautiful backgrounds brought peace and calmness to my life.Chris Mason is a very talented author with a long list of intriguing books. Each one of his books contains a significant part of his loving heart. There is no other author like Mr. Mason's work; it's fresh, appealing, and will make you want to experience more of his writing talent.Suzie HousleyMidwest Book Review5 StarsHere is what readers are saying about Researcher in a Box.Reviewed By Philip Van Heusen for Readers’ FavoriteChris Mason has written and helped others write research papers for many years. In Researcher in a Box, he takes the time to explain what is expected and how to write the best essay possible. Chris focuses on elementary and secondary school papers. In this book, Chris reviews the basics of six different types of essays. Chris points out some important distinctions of each. After explaining the types of papers, Chris goes further and analyses the components of the paper. Putting the paper together in the proper order is very important. Many young students are tempted to cheat by copying straight from one of their resources. Chris reminds his readers to never, ever plagiarize. Speaking of research, Chris gives ideas on where to find research and, more importantly, how to analyze that research. I love his use of the website concerning the endangered tree octopus.Researcher in a Box is Chris Mason’s contribution to young students everywhere. He gives information to help students excel in papers they write for school. While Chris gives good directions to finding research material, I wish he had included Google Scholar. Nevertheless, I applaud Chris’ attempt. After writing papers for lower schools, I later wrote major essays for two undergraduate degrees and three master’s degrees. Chris’ advice is spot on. This book is elementary in its information, but most paper writers need things kept simple. He writes to meet the need. I have to wholeheartedly agree that there is a dearth of critical thinking in today’s society. When elementary and secondary school students learn how to develop academic papers, their experience will serve them well as they pursue college degrees5 stars Reader's FavoriteHere is what readers are saying about The 12 Days of Christmas Geek Edition.The book itself is very short, as you can imagine with it covering the twelve days of Christmas.The book is a very funny read and I love the author take on the original. In this version all of the original things the person true love gave them has been updated and changed for things that a geek would love to be given.Overall it was a nice little read, which I can imagine would be good for people to be given as Secret Santa for ChristmasGoodreads4 starsHere is what critics are saying about Maxine's Happy Trails:A Truck Story.Reader's FavoriteMaxine’s Happy Trails: A Truck Story by Chris Mason is an exciting book with a trucker slant to it that takes readers on an exciting journey along with the truck. The wheels on the truck go round and round all across the country, and the wipers go swish, swish. The reefers on the truck go hum, hum, hum, and the city horn goes beep, beep, beep all across the country. The air brakes go hiss, hiss, hiss and the doors on the trailer open and shut. The big horn on the truck goes honk, honk, honk, and the driver on the truck goes whistle, whistle all across the country.The story is delightful and will bring a smile to the faces of young readers as they get to know the truck closely. The illustrations are bright and colorful and they make the author’s words come alive. There is a lyrical quality in the words and that will make it enjoyable for young readers. It is a good book for interactive sessions in classrooms as it has action and adventure and can also be read out to children during bedtime. Children who love trucks and vehicles will find this book a fun read. It is a simple and lighthearted story and I like the way the author introduces the truck and its parts to readers, and gives it a personality of its own. This happy trail along with the truck all over the country is a fun joyride that will be memorable to readers.5 Star ReviewHere is what critics are saying about Ten Little Monsters Standing in a LineTen Little Monsters Standing in a Line by Chris Mason was a cute book. The book is similar to the song “Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.” Instead of monkeys, there are monsters waiting in line at the unemployment office. I chose to read Ten Little Monsters Standing in a Line with my 5-year-old daughter because the monkey song is one of her favorites. She sort of liked the story. She was confused as to why the monsters were in a line for an unemployment office. I had to explain to her what an unemployment office was and what it does. However, she did like the illustrations in the book. She thought the monsters were cute looking.I thought the book was different and also sort of liked it. I liked the idea of the cute monsters and that it would help kids to learn how to count. Mason covered all of the classic monsters in this book like Godzilla and the Blob. I would have preferred for Mason to make them stand in a line that was geared more for kids, such as a cafeteria line or even a line for detention. The wording did not flow as smoothly as I would have liked, but it was still funny as to why each monster left the line. Overall, it is a nice book. Any book that helps kids learn to count in a new way is good in my eyes. If you like the monster classics, then this book might be for you.Reader's Favorite 4 star review.Here is what critics are saying about P is For Phoenix: An ABC Book of Legendary and Mythological Creatures.P is for Phoenix: An ABC Book of Legendary and Mythological Creatures by Chris Mason is an educational and informative book for children that not only teaches them the alphabet, but also gives them information about legendary and mythological creatures. The book makes teaching and learning fun, but also enhances young readers' knowledge and introduces them to creatures that existed in mythology and the role they played in cultures over the centuries. Learning the alphabet and about new creatures couldn’t be more interesting when children get to see the pictures of those creatures along with the descriptions. Readers can also check if their favorite legendary or mythological creature has been listed by the author.The illustrations are bright and colorful and they make the concept and the meaning of the book clear to young readers. It’s a good bedtime story book and parents and grandparents can read it out to their kids and grandkids. The book can also be used for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. Mythological creatures have always been a part of world cultures and the author brings them to the fore with this book. Books like this are good for children to teach them new things and also to enhance their knowledge and vocabulary. The theme and concept are original and refreshing, and the author’s idea of teaching the alphabet this way is fun and educational.Reader's Favorite 5 star reviewHere is what the critics are saying about Ten Terrific Monsters: A Hidden Item Book.Willie the wolf finds himself stuck in the unemployment line with nine other monsters.
