(2) PS Illustrated by Bob Shea. A pear-shaped, purple-fur-covered creature speaks directly to listeners. "I'm no monster!" This not-a-monster's appearance and behavior belie his message; the cognitive dissonance between text and pictures is what makes the book funny. Shea's kinetic illustrations take full advantage of the silly premise and offer loads of character. Jittery lines and bold background colors make the pages pop with nervous energy.
