Big Scary Monster

(4) K-3 The titular monster, big and blue, lives on a mountaintop. He gets his kicks from scaring the smaller animals with a resounding "Boo!" The monster travels to the lowlands expecting to frighten some other creatures, but he learns a lesson in perspective--both visual and psychological--when the small-looking critters get bigger the closer he gets. Docherty's exaggerated illustrations satisfactorily picture the slight tale.
