Monster ABC - (Hazy Dell Press Monster) by Kyle Sullivan (Board Book)

About the Book

Featuring tongue-in-cheek humor for adults and unhinged delight for kids, this hilarious alphabet board book is full of silly monster fun from Alien to Zombie. Full color.

Book Synopsis

Whimsical illustrations combine with cheeky verses in this quirky, hilarious alphabet book that introduces young readers to monsters from all over the world.
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 rendered monsters and silly verses prove that monsters don't have to be scary--they can be as friendly and silly as we want them to be.
