Publisher's Synopsis
Una visión ingeniosa y tierna del mundo de los monstruos. El gran caricaturista e ilustrador Patrick McDonnell nos vuelve a sorprender con un relato cuya engañosa simplicidad oculta una reflexión sobre el ser humano y su interioridad. Habìa una vez tres pequeños monstruos que vivìan en un tenebroso castillo, el cual se encontraba, a su vez, en lo alto de una tenebrosa montaña. Estos tres engendros se la pasaban todo el dìa discutiendo quién era el más malo, el más horrible y el más aterrador de todos; sin embargo, nunca se ponìan de acuerdo. Un dìa se les ocurrió crear un enorme monstruo. Querìan que fuera el más malo, horrible y aterrador de todos los monstruos que habìan existido sobre la faz de la Tierra. De esta forma ya no discutirìan más. Asì pues, pusieron manos a la obra y crearon a una gigantesca criatura. No obstante, en cuanto ésta cobró vida, los tres pequeños monstruos se llevaron una gran sorpresa.
An ingenious and tender vision of the world of monsters, Patrick McDonnell surprises again with a story whose deceiving simplicity hides a reflection on human beings and their interiority. Once upon a time, there were three little monsters who lived in a terrible castle at the top of a terrible mountain. They spent all day discussing who was the baddest, most horrible, and most terrible of them all-but they could never agree. One day, they decided to create an enormous monster. They wanted it to be the baddest, most horrible, and most terrible monster ever on the face of the earth-and that way they stopped arguing. They got to work and created a gigantic creature. And yet, when it came to life, the three little monsters were faced with a big surprise.
