A Monster Play-Along Adventure

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

A hideous monster needs YOUR help to reverse the spell so he can return to his gorgeous self!

Excuse me? You—yes, you! A naughty fairy has turned me into this hideous monster, and I need YOUR help to cure me! Help the monster reverse the spell by shouting “sausages!” ten times, picking his nose (and wiping it on a grown up), and, well, you don’t want to know what happens when you press his nose. Do everything right, and he’ll return to his true form and be gorgeous again . . . or so he thinks.

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Featuring huge-lettered text and hilariously grotesque imagery—including stomach-churning yellow-green fart clouds—this tale is loud in every sense of the word, but the illustrations offer ample negative space for breathing room . . . . [K]ids will find it a hoot. A gut-busting crowd-pleaser.”—Kirkus Reviews
