Nicholas Pickering is the latest title in the fun-packed Monstrous
Morals series, aimed at helping parents tackle those bad habits every
child inevitably picks up. As always, there's a happy ending but not
before Nicholas has learned a lesson he'll never forget. Lost in the
slimy green tunnel of his nostril - amid screeching bats, poisonous
snakes, a wayward owl, and a long-lost kite - Nicholas has a terrifying
encounter with a stomach churning, gooey monster - The Bogeyman. The
creature picks a fight with Nicholas for being so impolite and the boy
is left to wonder how on earth he'll get home? Written in comical rhyme,
and beautifully illustrated, the Monstrous Morals are building into a
unique collection of children's books, and Nose-Pickin' Nicholas
Pickering is bound to be picked up time and time again. The Monstrous
Morals series is an educational way of helping parents to get their
messages across in a fun way. Each story comes with not only a Monstrous
Moral but with a Monstrous Mouthfuls glossary of new words for young
readers to add to their vocabularies.
