Monstermon Cards are huge in 2nd grade Tara loves to trade cards but her teacher, Mr. Dan, has a rule: No trading cards. At first, Tara follows the rule, but at lunch, Tara trades her favorite Monstermon Card with Jim. Now Tara is sad and wants her card back. Tara's mom talks with Mr. Dan, who talks to the Principal. Now there's a new rule: No one can bring Monstermon Cards to school. The kids come up with an idea to solve this problem so they can play with Monstermon cards without breaking the rule and without anyone ending up sad. This "Hi-Lo" book can be enjoyed by children of any age. It is especially designed for students reading at a first grade level who would like to read a story with a second grade theme. Unlike most books used in Reading Recovery and other early reading programs, Monstermon Cards introduces students to a chapter book format. It is ideal for readers who are socially adjusted to second grade but may be catching up in reading. Monstermon cards can be integrated into the classroom or enjoyed with your child at home. Children find the issues presented in the book familiar and engaging. The hilarious illustrations are by the author's son, David White.
