Monster ABC

by Kyle Sullivan, Derek Sullivan (Illustrator)

Overview

Featuring tongue-in-cheek humor for adults and unhinged delight for kids, this alphabet book is full of silly monster fun from Alien to Zombie. Whimsical illustrations combined with winky verses add levity throughout, making this the perfect book to make you the coolest mom, dad, aunt or uncle ever. Monster ABC covers the full monster spectrum: Some are well-known (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Zombie), some are regional favorites (e.g., Jersey Devil, Sasquatch) and some come with a passport (e.g., Banshee, Krampus, Quetzalcoatl). These gorgeously quirky monsters and silly verses will prove there's nothing to fear.

Read an Excerpt

Some monsters seem spooky when seen at first glance, but who knows if they’re scary if we don’t give them a chance?

A is for Alien, from way out of town, B is for Banshee who won't quiet down.

C is for Chupacabra with a lot to digest, D is for Demon who can be such a pest.

E is for Enchantress with powers so grand, F is for Frankenstein's monster, crafted by hand.

G is for Ghost who gave us a start, H is for Hobgoblin who smells like a fart.

"It’s a refreshing change from saccharine kids’ stories. This children’s board book is quirky fun from Alien to Zombie." —The Seattle Times
