PS
"It appeared there was a monster in the library." Oskar and his stuffed bear Theodore try running away, hiding, and even diplomacy, but they only make the hungry monster angrier. Acrylic paintings in rich colors show a creature with huge feet and many small heads. The narrative's deadpan humor and entertaining speech-bubble dialogue work with clever page layouts to maximize the silliness.
