It is a paperback,very colorful and action packed pictures. It is a story about a normal day in the life of a normal monster. lots of metaphors such as policemonster, firemonster,and repairmonster. I enjoyed seeing all the funny looking monsters in a real life setting. The twists on the simularities to real life is fun. I think it is just for the enjoyment of reading, but maybe a lesson on simularities of people could be taught. ( )
