10 Little Monsters: A printable book for early readers

 

I created this fun little book as a read aloud to reinforce the concept of subtraction.

You might recognize the PinkPueblo monster clip art from some of my other printables.  These little guys are just too cute to leave alone!

Please indulge me and tell me it’s adorable.  All right – even if the story itself doesn’t thrill you – it’s FREE!  I hope you can use it – would love to hear from you in the comments if you’ll use it.

To assemble, I printed the pages on cardstock, cut them in half, and stacked them together.  Then I laminated them (not necessary), punched a hole in the side, and connected with a metal ring:

      Good question, Setareh! While all of our new resources have black and white versions, this is an older resource that does not have one. You could definitely print it in greyscale on your printer though!

    Hi! I love your 10 little monsters books and really wanted to print it for my daughters preschool class, however I can’t find a link that will work. Would you be able to send me the link to the fee printable?
    Thank you!

    I love your work and appreciate that so much of it is free. Really helps on a preschool teacher’s budget. My problem is I am rarely able to download your items. I get an error message says that the page cannot be opened. I’m going through Google, have downloaded the latest Adobe Reader. I’m running Windows 10. I hope you can help! There are lots of your things I’d like to use! Thanks!

    Thank you for sharing this book. I do think it is ADORABLE. I am no longer teaching, but have done the first day of school mornings for a friend for the last two years. She had time to do all the paper work and admin. parts of teaching on a first day, and I get to keep the students engaged.

    I was looking for M activities and was thinking of making monsters….so this is perfect. I will use it as a read aloud on the first day (tomorrow) and incorporate the activity. Then I will leave a pair of laminated copies in the reading center for future use. (First Grade).

    Thank you,
    Vicki

    This is an excellent site. Thank you so much for being so generous!! So much of our own money supports student learning which makes you such an amazing gift. I now have a great resource for my emergent readers printed at school for free!

    I have added a link at my blog connecting to your site so that even more teachers can add these resources to their classroom. Your emergent readers are perfect! Thank you again. Liz 😉

      Hi, Liz! I know just what you mean about using your own money to support your students’ learning – I spent WAY too much of my own when I was a teacher! I’m happy I can provide things for free because teachers need any free resources they can find! I’m so glad you’re finding things you can use here, and thanks so much for adding a link on your blog. Keep spreading the word 🙂

    Thanks much for sharing your work. I think it is wonderful and will be using it with my
    intervention work in kdg, one and two. It is great to see some folks understand how kids grow and learn. I think the public system has lost the path. Thanks again.

    This is SO appealing – I like the humorous touches:) Thanks for sharing your beginner readers. I’m a Reading Intervention teacher and always looking for simple books to appeal to Grade 1 children who think they can’t read.

      Yes, Kristina – that’s a good idea to put in the number words. I left those out because my little guy wasn’t quite big enough to get those, and I wanted the book to be accessible to him. Maybe some day I’ll offer an additional version.

    Thank you! This is absolutely adorable! My daughter (age4), wants to read it over and over, and I just put it together! She tries to be the monsters and giggles, a sound I LOVE to hear! Thanks again!

      My daughter had a fear of monsters made worse by her older brother. It was before computers, and research was at the library or by word-of-mouth. Somehow, I “brewed up” a top secret monster mood vaporizer (water and vinegar, really stinky) that was sprayed from a small spray bottle. Though the monster still existed, its powers were denigrated.
      As it turns out, monsters are only monsters because they do not understand how it feels to be loved. When we try to love them, or at least like them, even though we do not understand them completely, monsters have less power over us.
      Yes, this was a life lesson as well. My son says I should publish the books I wrote for them because, as was stated, the books just are not readily available. The ones I wrote have been shared with the neighborhood, and now my grandbabies.
      Maybe he has a point…but how does one go about publishing a book without the finances. Oh well…
      Blessings from Port Huron, Michigan.
