(2) PS Illustrated by Germán Blanco. What creature has the story's characters (and readers) whispering and tiptoeing to avoid waking it? Reminiscent of The Monster at the End of This Book, this interactive tale provides a few facts about the initially unseen monster (it likes to eat words) in the hope that a little knowledge will keep the beast at bay. Unfortunately, the furry narrator wakes up the monster with all its chatter. What will happen now? Kilpatrick's text ably balances humor with suspense, and Blanco's digitally rendered illustrations depict cute, brightly colored, big-eyed creatures. Storytime fun year-round, but especially enjoyable during the ­Halloween season.
