Descrição da editora
Once upon a time, there were three little rascals who thought they were the BIGGEST, BADDEST monsters around. Then along came an even BIGGER monster who changed their minds. And all it took was two little words.
In this playful tale from bestselling picture book author Patrick McDonnell, a very BIG monster shows three very BAD little monsters the power of boundless gratitude.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the 1931 movie Frankenstein, the monster was capable of kindness and innocence, but the villagers turned on him anyway. McDonnell's (Me... Jane) monster is even more prone to acts of sweetness and generosity much to the dismay of his creators. Three runty, bean-nosed monsters named Grouch, Grump, and little Gloom 'n' Doom (he has two heads) decide to settle their perpetual quarreling about which of them is the meanest by making "a monster monster. The biggest, baddest monster ever!" Like Frankenstein's monster, theirs has the same flat head, neck bolts, and automaton walk. He's strong enough to smash castle walls, but he has unexpectedly lovely manners. His first words are "Dank you!" and his first impulse is to hug the little monsters tight. McDonnell's greatest strength is to explore with tenderness the finest instincts humans show, without making them prissy or maudlin. The monster's goodness (and some jelly doughnuts) transform the three little monsters in an entirely believable way: "Monster looked at them and smiled. They smiled back." Another winner from McDonnell and good Halloween fare, too. Ages 3 6.
