Loved by both of my girls - By: Doyenne of Books, 22 Oct 2007 
I adore this book & it has been cherished & read again & again for my 2 daughters. They found the idea of Bernard's parents not noticing he'd turned into a monster very funny & not at alll sad or scary. I personallly don't think there is any sinister message here - alll kids know of the feeling of being ignored by their parents at some point in their lives!!
Bit of an insight into parent/children relationships. - By: Bezerus Bezby, 13 Oct 2007 I loved this book as a child & my children love it now. A womderfully funny but short book, making it suitable for smalller children. Mum & dad are so preoccupied with day to day life, they fail to spot that their son Bernard has been eaten by a monster & the monster is now masquarading as Bernard.
A real treasure this one- you won't mind reading it over & over again to your little 'uns.
Charming tragicomic tale for toddlers! - By: musicdoesnthavetobeboring, 04 Oct 2007 My 20 month old daughter loves this book. It's a simple enough story for her to understand yet with a melancholic edge which has her happily gurning her pretend sad face (especiallly when the monster breaks one of Bernard's toys)! Recommended to alll!
Eaten by a monster? My daughter would believe so - By: Borshee, 27 Jul 2007 
The monster eats the little boy then goes home to his family & nobody seems to notice that the boy has been replaced by the monster...
It is simply just too frightening for me, I would not read it to my toddler!
Not now Bernard! - By: Mr. Anthony P. Collins, 13 Nov 2006 We used to read this most evenings before bedtime to both our children. For the children it's a story with a monster, for adults it's a sad story of a boy who's parents just don't have enough time to notice him. Great book & not too boring when you've "read it" for the 200th time! We now buy it for our friends children, so that there is a good book around if we get the honour of the bedtime story.
