**This is a laugh-out-loud funny and devilish send-up of Ludwig
Bemelmans's Madeline for little monsters everywhere.
**
Frankenstein is the scariest of all the monsters in Miss Devel's castle.
He can frighten anything--animals, parents, even rocks. Until one night,
Miss Devel wakes up and runs downstairs to find that Frankenstein has
lost his head!
Frankenstein by Rick Walton and illustrated by Nathan Hale is a
delightful twist on a classic story that parents and kids can both enjoy
together. This is the perfect funny picture book read for Halloween or
the fall season.
Praise for Frankenstein:
"Walton twists the classic rhymes of the original with glee ('In two
crooked lines, they bonked their heads / pulled out their teeth / and
wet their beds') while Hale reenacts each scene with devilish
mayhem." -Booklist
"The illustrations have traded sunny yellow for pumpkin orange
backgrounds and make comically sly allusions to the original title."
