Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster

Reviewed by Sandra Merville Hart

Book written by Michelle Nelson-Schmidt

I love to share about cute picture books with a message when I find them.

This is a rhyming book, which appeals to young children.

The “Whatif” monster keeps the boy in the story too afraid to try anything new.

Like climbing a tree or playing with a new friend or playing baseball or eating a new dish. Then the boy realizes that each of those situations could as easily turn out well.

This story could help children who are afraid to try new things. Parents may first want to read the picture book—and any book their child wants to read for the message it conveys.

I liked the book and recommend it for children from 3 – 7.
