Publisher's Synopsis
- Staff Pick-Powell's Books
- Created by identical twin brothers (Kyle is the author and Derek is the illustrator), responsible for the Hazy Fables middle-grade series including Hobgoblin and the Seven Stinkers of Rancidia and Zombie, Or Not to Be, and the children's picture book The Cyclops Witch and the Heebie-Jeebies
- This award-winning children's board book adds some energy and gentle irreverence to the alphabet book genre by introducing children to mythological monsters, the alphabet and silly wordplay all at once. This board book, along with the other books in the Hazy Dell Press Monster Series, is thoughtfully crafted to appeal to parents, guardians, librarians and teachers as much as it appeals to children. And there's an underpinning lesson as well: since monsters are made-up in our imaginations, they don't have to be scary at all. They can be as silly and nonthreatening as we want them to be.
- Popular among the surging demographic of "geek parents", this book is a fan favorite at Comic Con events among parents who identify as nerds-and are actively raising their kids as nerds-in-training.
