Publisher Description
It’s almost Halloween, and Monster needs to decide what he’s going to be. With so many options — a fireman, a ballerina, a cowboy, a ninja—how will he ever decide? In this playful, rhyming story, Monster shows young readers that sometimes being creative and daring to try something new are the best solutions.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
First-timers Czajak and Grieb pair up for a gently funny story about a boy and his furry blue monster, who can't decide what to wear for Halloween. Three options tickle Monster's fancy, but none lasts for long: after donning a tutu and pirouetting around the family kitchen, "He kept on dancing, day and night, until his feet were sore./ But then he didn't want to be a dancer anymore." Czajak's rhymes give the story energy and humor, as do Grieb's digital caricatures, which emphasize the comedy of Monster's cowboy ambitions and attempts to be a stealthy ninja not easy when "he's nearly nine feet tall." Outside-the-box thinkers should enjoy the lighthearted ending, as Monster proves that sometimes one costume isn't enough. Ages 2 6.
