Moshi Monster pretty much inspired me to create a Monster Fun Fact book. The global success of this product is amazing, esp. how it came out of nowhere, and now you can't enter a shop without seeing at least one bit of Moshi Monster merchandise.
The monsters themselves are very simple creatures, but are very cutesy which appeals to children so well, and the mixture of the colour as well gives these characters more added appeal to the children, the monsters won't be considered to be works of art, but the fact that they are solely aimed at children makes the fact that their simple and colourful approach works tremendously well.

While researching into Moshi Monsters, I had a look at the Encyclopedia of the Moshi Monster world, and I decided to see how the page layouts has been designed and how they work. Looking around the pages your eyes are already attracted to the colourful background and of course to the colourful characters. The layout has quite a bit of text going on, on the page with the one random fact box that states a fun fact about the creature. The name of the monster is displayed boldy on the top of the page, the text works well with the character because its bold and bubbly/cartoony abit like the characters its describing.
This technique could be used on the characters whenever I have designed them.
