The book explains trying new things using a monster who asks “What if” to a little boy. The message is that you can’t be afraid to try because you never know what you may find.
This is a great book to start at the Kindergarten level and then reading again when those students graduate high school. It is very similar to the The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss.
