Meet Monster. Monster is tall, skinny, and not at all ugly like other monsters. He moves to the city and finds a house, a friend, and even a lady monster. Monster is a special monster. He plays soccer with the neighborhood kids and uses his magic umbrella to help his best friend, the little boy. Will you be Monster’s friend, too? This collection of six classic stories, first published in 1973, was written by Ellen Blance and Ann Cook with the input of children. The text gently helps kids learn to read, while award-winning illustrator Quentin Blake’s artwork brings the delightful Monster to life.
