      Gr 2-4-Gabby Gibbons wants to take her people-hungry pet monster out of his home, the closet, and have him star in the school play, "The Christmas Carol". Obstacles, such as Gabbys mom and the fact that Dwight cant utter much more than Roaarr!, get in the way, but the pair persevere. The story has a message, delivered not too subtly, that there is a space for everyone in our country no matter how they look: Gabby is African American while Dwight is Monster-American. The illustrations are roughly drawn and sometimes look hastily put together, but Dwight is big and lovable, and children will become attached to him."Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, Kearns Library, UT"
