Monstrously wonderful illustrations by Ben Cort bring each of the wacky monsters alive. Each seems to have his own individual personality. Sure, monsters are hairy and scary, but what few of us know is that monsters love to wear wacky boxers and briefs. They cavort happily through the woods and have a disco ball showing off their best undergarments. They love being ugly and scary, but they love underpants more than anything!
Much of the fun of this particular children's book is in the language. British writer Clair Freedman will teach American youngsters words like: twanging, dingy, armour (notice the spelling), pinched (meaning stolen), bloomers, wobbly, jive, and snazzy.
This witty, whimsical read is sure to be a new favorite. The children's pet cat appears at the beginning and ending, but he adds greatly to the story. He is visibly on edge and ready to spit and scratch and probably run away.
Recommended for early readers and anyone who loves crazy underpants.
