Monsters, Mind Your Manners!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Simon Scales. "Look out, children, / here they come, / bringing pandemonium! / Lock doors and windows, run and hide. / Do not let these creeps inside!" Children, aghast, look on as four monsters draw on walls, talk in school, throw food, etc. Bad behavior drives the story, but the ending fizzles. Digital-looking illustrations (some a little blurry) with a Disney-meets-anime quality dutifully depict the monsters' antics.
