The book-loving monster siblings from Alphonse, That Is Not OK to Do! face a problem when big-sis Natalie struggles with learning to read. Frustrated because "the letters and words looked like prickles or birds' feet," she's about to give up when Alphonse (with an assist from Dad) helps her reach a solution. The blobby, colorful screenprinted creatures make a common difficulty/milestone endearingly approachable.
