This engaging picture book prompts young children to face their fear of monsters and take charge of the situation The reader is prompted to tickle various parts of a monster, deconstructing the creature and repurposing his parts into a far less threatening scene. His horns become the moon, his legs and arms become trees, his nose becomes a car. Slowly but surely, the monster s shapes build a peaceful nighttime landscape. Manceau s bold, geometric illustrations create a deceptively simple visual narrative that encourages readers to see the parts as well as the whole. Reminiscent of Ed Emberley s "Go Away, Big Green Monster ," this book empowers the child to be brave and clever in the face of adversity.".
