Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance

24 pp. | Chronicle | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-2169-2 $$12.95
(3) K-3 A monster yearns to dance, so he struts his stuff on stage until his head unzips, his brains flop out, and several body parts disconnect. The horrified audience flees, but Frank crows, "I might be a monster, but man can I dance!" The madcap verse is appealing, and the illustrations exhibit great skill with color and composition.
