From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Frankie Stein is nothing like his monstrous, green-skinned parents. Instead, he is cute, with a pink face and golden hair. In an effort to make him more like them, Mr. and Mrs. Stein "made faces at him" and "shouted BOO! and "GOTCHA!" To give him a more frightening facade, they paint his blond hair blue, cap his first white tooth with green, and place green "bump stickers" all over his face. Still not finding their child terrifying enough, they teach him to walk stiffly and groan. When that doesn't work, they describe the horrifying attributes of their relatives. In the end, little Frankie discovers his own way of being scary, which frightens even his parents. Purples and greens dominate the illustrations, emphasizing the cartoony creepiness of the Stein house. While little Frankie resembles a round-faced toddler, his parents are reminiscent of, as their last name suggests, Frankenstein's monster. Children are certain to find amusement in this charming story, which also subtly teaches them the importance of individuality. It is certain to be a favorite around Halloween.—Donna Atmur, Los Angeles Public Library
