From the creator of Goodnight Goon, a laugh-out-loud friendship story that perfectly captures the high and low moments of a typical playdate!
Michael Rex has written and illustrated over twenty children's books, including With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck, the New York Times #1 bestseller Goodnight Goon, The Runaway Mummy, Truck Duck, and the Fangbone series. He has a master's degree in visual arts education (K-12) and worked as a New York City art teacher for four years. He visits schools across the country, and has appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice as a guest illustrator. He lives in Leonia, New Jersey, with his wife and their two sons.
“Rex smartly teases out the will-he, won't-he just long enough. . .
. Little readers will be briefly flabbergasted and quite giggly.
Rex's clean-lined cartoons are beautifully paced. . . . A silly and
surprising picture book that will quickly join regular
rotation.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The hairy, snaggletoothed, horned monster who appears at Pete’s
window isn’t some misunderstood creature in search of a friend, the
kind of character that’s a fixture in so many children’s books.
Nope, this monster has one goal in mind: ‘EAT PETE!’ . . . Readers
should enjoy this clever tale from Rex (Goodnight Goon) about
impulse control and its surprisingly sympathetic
monster.”—Publishers Weekly
