Beware: There' s a sleeping monster within these pages. But this is no ordinary monster. This monster eats words. And when the monster is awake, it gets HUNGRY. So you have to be very careful and very quiet while reading. If you hear a growl-run fast. Oh no, what' s that? The monster' s woken up! How are we supposed to finish this book when all the words are being eaten? And who-or what-is this fearsome monster exactly? The answer to that question, I' m afraid, is totally . . . adorable. In this hilarious and colorful ode to words and conquering one' s fear, award-winning author and illustrator duo Karen Kilpatrick and German Blanco remind us that friendship can be found in unexpected places.
Visual humor and brightly colored monsters set against uncluttered backgrounds make this a good read-aloud. A whimsical metanarrative turns a pleasantly scary monster into readers' new best friend. --Kirkus Reviews Cotton-candy-colored monsters for a storytime about unexpectedly adorable monstrosities. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children' s Books
