Maddox and the Waddox by Hilary Cline is an interesting children's book that talks about Maddox and his experience with the monster, Waddox. The author started the story by narrating how Maddox's mother switched off the lights and told Maddox to go to bed. That was when Maddox started hearing strange noises and disturbances in his bedroom. Maddox always put on his flashlight anytime he heard strange noises and disturbances in his room. Eventually, Maddox discovered the monster, Waddox in his bedroom. What did the monster want? Was Maddox scared? Did the monster hurt Waddox? To find out, read Maddox and the Waddox by Hilary Cline.

I would like to state that this is an amazing children's book. This book is filled with beautiful and high-quality pictures that explain the story on each page. I enjoyed reading this book. I like how the author used these pictures to illustrate the character's emotions and state of mind on each page of the book. The author's style of writing is simple, straightforward and amazing. It made me enjoy each page of this book. I could easily relate to the story. I could also feel Maddox's emotions at certain points in this book because of how the author wrote the story and made illustrations for each page. This book would also be very easy for children to read, especially toddlers that are learning how to read. The pictures used in this book would also fascinate and capture the attention of its readers, especially children. I also appreciate the fact that the story was concise. This made the book fun to read. The author did a great job of writing this children's book.

I would like to state that there is nothing about this book that I dislike. Reading this book was a wonderful and amazing experience for me. I certainly enjoyed every page of this book. The use of beautiful pictures as a means of illustration also caught my attention and captivated me.

I would gladly rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. One of the reasons for giving such a rating is that I enjoyed reading this book. I certainly had fun reading this book. This book also reminded me of some of my childhood experiences. I would also like to state that this book was thoroughly proofread and edited. I did not notice any grammatical or typographical errors while reading it.

I would gladly recommend this book to children, especially toddlers. I would also recommend this book to children having difficulty reading. This is a lovely book with vibrant illustrations that will fascinate and captivate them. This book is also suitable for parents that love reading bedtime stories to their children. This book would also serve as a great tool in helping children improve their vocabulary.

From this nice review I’m convinced that I’ll enjoy this book. I think the better audience is clearly children though.
