Barton, Bethany This Monster CANNOT WAIT! 32 pgs. Dial, 2013. $16.99 PICTURE BOOK. This book is about a monster that is really excited about going camping and simply can’t wait until the day comes when they leave. He tries to think of ways to make the time go faster. Nothing seems to work. He even tries to literally push his way to the back of the book by tearing through the pages. He gets in a lot of trouble and has to go to time out. His friend is just the opposite. She isn’t looking forward to camping because she will miss her friends and teacher. Monster soon realizes that they are somewhat alike. They are both so worried about next week that they are missing RIGHT NOW. Monster decides to kill time by making lists of things he can do while camping and reads up on how to frighten forest animals. And before you knew it, it was time to go camping! Both Monster and his friend end up having a great time. I really liked the illustrations and the way the words looked like they were hand written, not typed. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: JL- age 10.
