The Block Mess Monster

(3) PS Illustrated by C. B. Decker. What her mom views as an unequivocal mess, imaginative Calpurnia sees as the frightful Block Mess Monster. Only when Mom accepts the monster's existence do the three reach an acceptable clean-up solution. Calpurnia's voice is candid, witty--and a little bit panicky. Observant readers will enjoy identifying the expressive but not-at-all-obvious face and form of the monster amongst the blocks.
