I’m the biggest monster
that you’ve ever seen!
My eyes are purple
and my teeth are green.
I’m big and I’m scary,
you know what I mean?
And this is what I like to do…
Boogie away those bedtime fears and embrace your inner monster with Monster Boogie, based on Laurie Berkner’s irresistibly fun song and featuring lively, playful artwork by Ben Clanton!
I do the monster boogie.
So can you!
Rraaaahhh!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Like a cheery preschool version of the Halloween classic "Monster Mash," children's music star Berkner's snappy tune-turned-picture-book features not-so-scary monsters cutting a rug. When "the biggest monster that you've ever seen!" shows up in two sleeping kids' bedroom, one sibling is all smiles, while the other keeps a wide-eyed distance as their purple-eyed visitor clicks on the boom box and confesses he likes to "do the monster boogie... round the room!... So can you!" By the time the monster breaks into a second round "monster wiggle" moves both kids are joyfully bebopping with their unexpected guest and a few of his monstrous friends. Clanton (the Narwhal and Jelly series) opens the action in an inky dark bedroom, then creates a true party atmosphere with a popping fresh palette. Thick black outlines delineate his figures, who are further distinguished by their big, bright eyes with some characters sporting more than two. This romp offers sunny before-bed silliness and may also just help allay nighttime monster fears. Ages 4 8.
