Jon Klassen. I have a huge amount of time for Jon Klassen’s hyper-minimal style, it’s SO stark and yet so full of character and humour. Very impressive. Jealousy (or envy) is often described as a ‘green-eyed monster’. Can you find out more about the history of this phrase? I am a passionate reader of psychology and spiritual books, and as a result, I appreciate writers who bring these issues to children as a sweet, kind lullaby. Perhaps an odd choice as a teenager, but I went through a stage of reading as many Mary Wesley books as I could get my hands on. She just seemed to be so skilled at portraying people of all ages and walks of life. As a teenager I marvelled at the fact that she could so clearly write about what it felt like to be that age, being as she had her first novel published aged 71. Of course now that I’m 35 and can still remember EXACTLY what it felt like to be 16 it doesn’t seem that unlikely anymore – ah, the follies of youth. Warm and uplifting, Milo's Monster is an ideal starting point for helping children to build strong friendships and say goodbye to jealous feelings.

Orphans' letters to the detectives saying, "Mr. Officers, Mr. Grimmer is innocent" and "Mr. Detectives, it's the blonde lady who's the murderer" When Milo goes and asks Jay to play the next day, Milo is upset to see Jay is already playing with Suzi. Jay introduces Milo to Suzi and Milo starts to feel squirmy at how much fun Jay is having with her and without him.Who or what was your biggest influence in deciding to become a writer? I just love making up stories and drawing pictures – it was inevitable. Not that I’d get published of course, but even if I hadn’t got published I’d still sit there coming up with ideas and writing them down. It’s just what I do. While this is a fairly bland treatment compared to Deborah Lee Rose and Carey Armstrong-Ellis’ The Twelve Days of Kindergarten (2003), it basically gets the job done. Milo’s Moster is an engaging story of a child that sees his best friend meeting and making a new friend. Milo is jealous of their friendship and is described as a green-eyed monster. From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry, a story about what to do when jealousy comes between friends.

After the murder of Mr. Petrov and the old lady who helped him take care of the children, Wolfgang Grimmer was suspected by the police to have been the assailant. Milosz and other kids swore that Grimmer was with them the whole time the supposed murder happened, and that a 'beautiful blonde lady' was the one who committed the act.When Milo goes to Jay’s house again and discovers he is out with Suzi, he starts to grow jealous and think that Jay doesn’t want to be his friend anymore. Then, a green-eyed monster pops right out of Milo.

Soon, Milo found that Jay has been spending time with Suzi, without him! A funny feeling starts to squirm inside Milo and out of nowhere pops up a Green-Eyed Monster!In Milo's Monster, the author explores jealousy and what happens when Milo feels that his best friend, Jay, is being taken away by new girl, Suzi. Milo gets angrier as he feels increasingly left out of their games until eventually, a green-eyed monster appears, making Milo feel even more angry and jealous to the point where he stops playing with his old friends. Eventually, Milo realises that his actions are making them as sad as he feels and he finds a way to say sorry, and the children become friends once more.

The title of this story uses alliteration. Can you think of (or make up) other book titles that also include alliteration?This book will help children find the strength to communicate without pushing down their emotions and running away from the problem. Tenma and Grimmer wasted no time finding Miloš. Their efforts directed them to the red light district, but they did not find him easily. When they have reached the end of it, their hope of finding Milosz had quite diminished, until Grimmer spotted him by the edge of the bridge, looking over the rushing current of the river (because it was raining), about to jump over.
