Editorial Reviews




Editor's Choice - "A cute little monster swears that nothing frightens him, so invites the reader to bare their teeth and stomp their feet to prove that they are a monster, too. But what happens if the reader is too scary and makes the book monster run away? The under-fives will love trying to be frightening in this deliciously gleeful story from Brazilian artist Karsten, a finalist in Brazil's Premio Jabuti Literature Prize."The Bookseller

The Book


This delightful book will be a huge hit with wee ones.  It is an interactive read-aloud picture book with a Monster inside that is looking for a monster buddy to do scary things with!  He asks the reader are you a monster too? 


Kids are encouraged to play along to show the scary ( but fun scary) monster that they just might be the BFF he is seeking. 


The monster asks:  Do you have a long pointy tail?  BIG yellow eyes?  Can you make a big, loud noise?  And of course the interactive responses he receives are hilarious.  


There is a lovely twist, first in in the centre of the book, and another at the end that will have kids coming back again and again to enjoy this fun entertaining tale.  


The illustrations are fantastic and I love that the book gives opportunity for movement and interaction.  Inviting kids to participate always helps them enjoy reading time and encourages them to want to read  more books.  


I love the book and highly recommend it!
