Thank you so much for this article...I'd always thought it was something like "Monster Pets" and that Google search didn't work out at all. I love this blog!Toonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867993460493875221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-48530103332806208192009-07-15T18:49:37.821-07:002009-07-15T18:49:37.821-07:00Oh man!

Seeing the art style and the monsters (esp the pretty darn helpless looking mummies) brought a tear of nostalgia to my eye.<br /><br />As always a great blog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-91720873552509854092009-07-15T11:24:47.752-07:002009-07-15T11:24:47.752-07:00Ormon, haven't seen the other books you mentio...Ormon, haven't seen the other books you mentioned, but you'll be glad to know the Scholastic Book Club program (which lets school children order discounted books that are shipped directly to their classroom) is alive and well.Brother Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176233134588988372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-35442408669575257652009-07-15T10:35:08.445-07:002009-07-15T10:35:08.445-07:00I wonder if you have ever come across the children...I wonder if you have ever come across the children's book Lamont the Lonely Monster?<br />Had this one, that one, and the Ormsby book as a kid too.<br />Another good one is the Father and Son wood working Project book from that same period. They had all sorts of cool clubhouses, boats, play weapons, and forts any kid would kill for and could never ever make but they were great designs.<br />Can you imagine, how surreal now, you could order books in your classroom at school every week for a couple of bucks.<br />OrmonOrmon Grimsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541354080221054535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-59100636048391855262009-07-14T06:55:50.084-07:002009-07-14T06:55:50.084-07:00Thanks for the kind words, Ormon!Thanks for the kind words, Ormon!Brother Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176233134588988372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-82701237913229701552009-07-13T23:24:53.807-07:002009-07-13T23:24:53.807-07:00Boy I can not tell you how much I have enjoyed loo...Boy I can not tell you how much I have enjoyed looking through your entire blog tonight.
