In There Are Monsters Everywhere by Mercer Mayer about a kid who takes matters into his own hands with the monsters he finds everywhere. He learns karate which will empower kids to beat the monsters out of their house.  I had huge hopes for this story as I love books by Mercer Mayer. The illustrations that Mercer Mayer has created are amazing and so real life. It's like you are right there with the character in the book. The colors make it pop. My kids were rather bored though with the story line of this book. It seemed to drag on and it lost their attention rather quick. We will put this book on hold and try it again when they are a little older though.  Click Here for More Children's Fiction Books
