"How to Scare a Monster "by Zanib Mian - Reviewed by Islamic School Librarian
I like a lot of books, but this one — well, it might be my favorite. The size, the length, the colors, the fonts, the illustrations, the message: truly it is fabulous for 3–5 year olds.
The premise is simple and straightforward. The book doesn't try to do too much or put too much on its 32 pages. It identifies ways to deal with monsters, and then offers what some people try to do to scare them away, concluding that the best and only solution is to ask Allah for help by saying, Audhoobillah.
Kids will laugh at the silly illustrations and attempts to be monster-free, and remember the clear strong message of calling on Allah swt when afraid. A perfect book for bedtime or storytime at the masjid.
