This Monster Cannot Wait!

32 pp. | Dial | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3779-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 A young monster can't wait to go camping, so he tries some amusing tactics to make time pass quickly; in a meta touch, he even "tears" a page of "this book" in an attempt to flip to the camping trip at the end. The quirky story, with its scribbly, spontaneous-looking illustrations, conveys a sense of impatience that will likely strike a chord with readers.
