Frankenstein: A Monstrous Parody

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nathan Hale. "In a creepy old castle / all covered with spines, / lived twelve ugly monsters in two crooked lines." Not only are the rhymes in this higher-order spoof a delightful homage to Bemelmans's Madeline, but the story (in which Madeline-surrogate Frankenstein awakes one morning with no noggin) could stand on its own. The Halloween-hued illustrations aren't for the faint-hearted.
