What is Monsters in My Mailbox about?

Reginald refuses to play with the girl next door, so his days are lonely and dull. Then he discovers the Monster-of-the-Month Club, which sends a new monster straight to his mailbox. At first, the strange visitors seem like perfect playmates, but keeping monsters happy may be trickier than Reginald expects. As each delivery brings a fresh surprise, Reginald learns that friendship can appear in unexpected places—and that the best companion might have been next door all along.
