Monster may think he wants to be in a scary story, but then again . . . A hilarious return by the team that brought us Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise. Our author would like to write a funny story, but his main character -- Monster -- has a different idea. He wants to be the star of a chilling, petrifying, utterly terrifying SCARY story. But scary stories . . . well, they can be very scary -- especially for their characters! Particularly when they involve dark forests and creepy witches and spooky houses . . . Oh yikes and crikes, this is definitely not the scary story Monster had in mind! Maybe he wants to be in a funny story after all!

SUCH A CLEVER STORY! submitted by czadams on August 27, 2023, 1:52pm I love how the author made it engaging and bolded certain words that kids and parents could take turns reading. I like that the monster and and the narrator talk to the reader. The book is funny and scry and has such a cute plot! PLEASE read this to and with your kids!
As a babysitter who has read many books to many kids, this is a frequently requested book.
