When a Monster Is Born
by Sean Taylor and Nick Sharratt

When a Monster Is Born Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When a monster is born, there are two possibilities — either it's a faraway-in-the-forests monster, or...it's an under-your-bed monster.

If it's a faraway-in-the-forests monster, that's that. But if it's an under-your-bed monster all sorts of comical things can happen. This subversive monster story explores the hilarious possibilities of what if...

Read it at bedtime and laugh your pajamas off...or read it during the day and laugh your socks off!

Review:

"With its zany humor, skillful timing of page turns, and over-the-top story line, this is an engaging tale that children will respond to and request again and again." School Library Journal

Synopsis:

When a monster is born, there are two possibilities... each episode in this comical story presents a choice between absurd alternatives ("Either it sits quietly and does its homework . . . or it eats the Principal"), followed by an equally absurd--and frequently unexpected-- outcome ("If it sites quietly, that's that. But if it eats the Principal, there are two possibilities..."). A subversive and satisfying take on "What if . . . ?" illustrated in bright pick-me-up colors, When a Monster is Born will have readers imagining unlikely stories of their own--and laughing out loud.
