Description edit
When he finds that he is home alone for the first time, a bright eight-and-a-half-year-old boy informs any monsters that might be lurking in the house that his older brother Dan is worth the wait.
Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Themes & Symbolism edit
- Persuasion: The younger brother is trying to persuade "the monster" in the house to wait for his older brother to get home because he would be much more appetizing to eat and he gives three reasons to support this argument. He also addresses the the monster's concerns and in the end is very excited to see his brother. It is a wonderful book for a teacher teaching the elements of persuasive writing.
