Gabe and Goon

(4) PS A singsongy rhymed text describes how Gabe adores monsters, but Goon, the "real live monster" in his closet, is terrified of children. When the two meet, Gabe mocks Goon's fear--until Goon discovers something that scares Gabe and evens the score. The cartoony mixed-media illustrations show a big, purple, non-scary monster being afraid, which children may find entertaining.
