Review
Rachel Bright's distinctive illustrations bring to life the story of a lonely little monster living in a town full of cute fluffy things. Younger children may not understand the alienation that Monster feels, but it's a good way to explain to little ones that nobody likes to feel left out. Monster goes on a quest in search of a kindred spirit, and finds one in the monster driving the bus home.
It's a bit British in spots (the costume shop is called a fancy dress shop), but the story is simple, and the pictures delightful.
Overall Book Score: very good
