About the book
This fun book will delight little ones as they discover a not-too-scary monster who loves to devour everything in sight. He gobbles up apples, leaves, trees, and even the poor cows that are innocently standing by... oh my!!! What a ravenous appetite he has!!!
After his tummy is full from all his binging he turns his attention to the reader and decides there may still be room in his tummy for dessert... you!!! His most favourite delicacy of all is a yummy, scrumptious, to-die-for kid!!! Will he carry through with his plan and gulp you down too? Should you run?
The fun book will not have your child scared in the least but will have him giggling and entertained to the max. The author has created an ongoing dialogue with the reader using such lines as, "I think you'd better hide" and "Here he comes! Close the book!" engaging your child on every page.
The illustrations are full of detail, action, excitement and playfulness. Young kids will love it for sure. I highly recommend this book.
