Beware the Monster!
Description
Can a monster ever eat too much?
Wolves, ogres, and giants have always populated children鈥檚 books. That little bit of fear that they inspire is what makes storytime so exciting. In this book, young children are introduced to a ravenous monster that eats everything in its path. Apples, leaves, trees, and even cows don鈥檛 stand a chance as he ploughs his way through the woods satisfying his enormous appetite.
Who will his next victim be? Be careful! His favorite dish is little children! But don鈥檛 worry. The surprise ending will make children sigh with relief鈥攁nd laugh out loud.
Filled with humor and just the right amount of scariness, this book speaks directly to the child with comments, warnings, and asides on every page. Giggle-inducing lines such as 鈥淚 think you鈥檇 better hide鈥� and 鈥淗ere he comes! Close the book!鈥� place the child right in the story.
Energetic, colorful illustrations complete this funny book for very young children.
