Aspiring inventor Monty is determined to create all sorts of useful products, however things don't go exactly according to the plan and the results are, well, monstrous.

Monty's first experiment produces a slobbery green creature, who calls itself Bogablob and is definitely not a walking toaster. The next attempt gets even worse, turning all the dodgy ingredients into a stinky Dust Monster.

Now that the two are anxious to have a fight of their lives, Monty must do something about it with the help of his third and by all means most spectacular invention: a ginger-furred, toothy Monstersaurus, whose secret weapon - a great big kiss - never fails.

Blame it on Monsters Inc. or even the mighty Gruffalo, but suddenly monsters have become incredibly cute and cuddly (but still quite toothy).

Monstersaurus itself is the most handsome and fluffy little thing which makes my toddler squeal with delight and ask for one of his own for Christmas.

A delightful story with smashing illustrations and a wicked sense of humor, although once you've read this, there will be no turning back when your little darlings call their over-affectionate aunties Monstersauruses when
they try to kiss them goodbye.
