Parr, Todd

The Monster Mac and Cheese Party

(2) PS Step into the monstrous, cheesy fun with an invitation to, you guessed it, a monster mac and cheese party with "no humans allowed." Parr keeps listeners involved with direct questions and choices--they get to decide what dish they would bring, and whether they would eat some of the monsters' creations. (Mac and cheese with stinky socks, anyone?) Finally, two humans arrive with their own (boxed!) contribution, and the monsters agree to let them join. Parr's signature bold lines and bright colors keep viewers' eyes wide and their minds engaged as he creates a lively book with a strong message: in the end, everyone is welcome. Two of his favorite recipes are included in the back matter.
