Can a monster ever eat too much?
Wolves, ogres, and giants have always populated children's 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't 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't worry. The surprise ending will make children sigh
with relief--and 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 "I think you'd better hide"
and "Here he comes! Close the book!" place the child right in the story.
Energetic, colorful illustrations complete this funny book for very
young children.
