The Monstrous Book of Monsters

16 pp. | Candlewick/Templar | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5756-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 This mock-serious book, purportly a missing monster-expert's unfinished field guide, introduces various monsters (they're everywhere) and advises readers how to survive meeting one (run away). The heavily illustrated presentation includes lots of flaps, tabs, and die-cut pages. The busy pages and tiny type are frustrating; not a necessary purchase, but monster fans will probably eat this up.
