{"product_id":"i-need-my-monster-9780979974625","title":"I Need My Monster","description":"\u003cp\u003eA unique monster-under-the-bed story with the perfect balance of giggles and shivers, this picture book relies on the power of humor over fear, appeals to a child's love for creatures both alarming and absurd, and glorifies the scope of a child's imagination. One night, when Ethan checks under his bed for his monster, Gabe, he finds a note from him instead: \"Gone fishing. Back in a week.\" Ethan knows that without Gabe's familiar nightly scares he doesn't stand a chance of getting to sleep, so Ethan interviews potential substitutes to see if they've got the right equipment for the job--pointy teeth, sharp claws, and a long tail--but none of them proves scary enough for Ethan. When Gabe returns sooner than expected from his fishing trip, Ethan is thrilled. It turns out that Gabe didn't enjoy fishing because the fish scared too easily.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScholastic Book Club Selection \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of 6 state awards: Alabama Camellia Award (2010-2011), Arizona Grand Canyon Reader Award (2011), California Young Readers Medal (2011-12), Georgia Picture Storybook Award (2011-12), Nevada Young Reader Award (2011-12), Virginia Reader's Choice Primary Award (2012-13) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded on 5 other state award lists: Mississippi Magnolia Children's Choice Award list (2012-13), Nebraska Golden Sower Award list (2011-12), South Dakota Prairie Bud Award list (2011-12), Washington Children's Choice Book Award list (2010-2011), Wyoming Buckaroo Award list (2011-12) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, these regional awards lists: Connecticut Charter Oak Children's Book Award list (2011-12), Iowa Regional Goldfinch Award Winner (2009-10) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorytelling World Award Honor Book 2010 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Noll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flashlight Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e I Need My Monster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.25h x 10.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780979974625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e130382 \/ I Need My Monster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Alabama Camellia Award Winner - Grades K-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award Nominee - Picture Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Buckaroo Book Award Third Place - Children's\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2012 Georgia Children's Book Award Winner - Picture Storybook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011 Grand Canyon Reader Award Winner - Picture Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2012 California Young Reader Medal Winner - Primary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2012 Nevada Young Readers' Award Winner - Picture Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2012 Golden Sower Award Honor Book - Primary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2013 Virginia Readers Choice Award Winner - Primary","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44150978838573,"sku":"9780979974625","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_1ea0a805-452d-4746-b908-56c1eff1d2db.jpg?v=1757340806","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/i-need-my-monster-9780979974625","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
