Praise for this book

"This is an incredibly fun tale that easily teaches kids that a person is way more than what's on the outside. Physical appearance is not when you give an A* to someone, and when it comes to Harold, although he's a monster, his looks are definitely deceiving. The illustrator of this heartwarming tale did a great job of presenting Harold and the rest of the school in a great way. The pictures are colorful and great to view, and Harold was definitely a character your kids will love to look at and will remember when the book is long over. In addition, this title is part of the Level Learner Books #3, which means it offers short, easy-to-understand words and concepts that spark a child's mind and make them highly eager to read books, but still need a bit of help. The author, Philippa Rae, is an award-winning writer as well as a creative writer of short stories, poetry, and non-fiction, which is no surprise after reading this tale. Lastly, when it comes to this particular font, adults will see at the back, what it is all about. It's specially designed by graphic designer, Christian Boer, to make it far easier to read. Traditional fonts are jumbled etc. because the letters are too similar. With this, the letters are perfectly distinguished so no one will miss out on sharing certain books with their kids. And this, readers, is one you don't want to miss out on. Great job!" Five stars *****Amy Lignor
