Monsterly fun radiates bright and bold in this catchy tale, which will have listeners spouting monsterly vocabulary of their own.

Some eaters are simply finicky, and that's definitely the case for this little monster. The parents bring out all sorts of delcious...ummm, interesting?...morsels. Yet, this little monster turns its nose at every single one.

This is a read-aloud that will have listeners quickly wanting to repeat every word themselves...and invent a few along the way. Each dish and response is a whimsical basket of nonsense, which slides right along into monsterly fun. And yet, it all makes sense-ish.

Thanks to the colorful illustrations, reactions and emotions are no problem to guess and make ga-gobbled word as clear as day. The monster baby is cute and stuffed full with emotion as he shakes his head and hides from every dish brought out to him. And these dishes are sure to catch some gasps, groans, and 'huhs?' along the way.

The ending is sweet as can be and offers a solution. Sort of. In any case, listeners will get the point and probably be nerping themselves the rest of the day.
I received an ARC and found this book fun to read. My kids got a kick out of it, too. So, we're leaving our honest thoughts. ( )
