About
What happens a big furry monster no longer wants to be scary? How can he figure out where his other talents lie?
In this installation of Sue Fliess and Simona Sanfilippo's Magical Creatures and Crafts series, an unhappy monster is hoping to get out of the scaring business. But it's all he's ever known. So one day he realizes the key lies in learning a new skill. And who better than to teach him something new, than a group of kind and patient kids?
The kids agree to help him and offer to teach him a number of things-and he chooses baking a cake. The story follows the monster's journey of learning how to bake and decorate, with occasional humorous monsterly snafus. Ultimately he makes a monster of a cake and is proud to have learned and changed. Kids will delight in the monster's trials and errors, and cheer him on when he persists and finds success.
Fliess's bouncy read-aloud rhyming text and Sanfilippo's energetic, whimsical illustrations will bring joy to young readers as they watch the children exercise patience with a monster who is just a little bit self-conscious and clumsy. Also included are guides for teachers and parents about popular monsters in stories and media, as well as instructions for making a monstrously fun and delicious cake!
