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 Germán Blanco remind us that friendship can be found in unexpected places.
