When Frankie Stein is born, his monster parents are horrified by his pink-skinned, blond-haired lack of scariness. Readers who have never watched The Addams Family or The Munsters may chuckle; everyone else will find the premise unoriginal. The digitally enhanced art features yuks (the piano is a "Frankensteinway") for the discerning older reader.
