- To not judge someone by their looks (terrible eyes, terrible claws, terrible teeth etc..)

- Family (in the story, even though Max was angry  that he did not get his supper (from his mum), he still prefered "to be somewhere where he was someone loved him (home)".

Why is this theme relevant to children?
- Children tend to get upset when they don't get what they want. They say things like "I hate you" "I don't love you" but they don't actually mean it. 

- To not be judgemental when making new friends as their physical appearance does not define them (the monsters looked terrible but they were actually nice towards him).]]> 2016-12-06 02:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thx2/gyuom52lu7lk/wish/141916929 saraxtan_ https://padlet.com/thx2/gyuom52lu7lk/wish/141916965 - Use of action words

Children have imaginary mindset and the book is adventurous.

The book appeals to children because sometimes they will be upset with their parents when they get scolded by their parents. This can relate to them and let them realise that parents are the ones that love and care for them the most. And, home is the warmest place.
