I'm Looking for a Monster!
by Timothy Young

A young boy is looking for the perfect monster; not too big, too furry, too scary, or too slimy. Journey through fun novelty popups (pull tabs, flaps, turn wheels) in the hunt to find the perfect monster. The monsters look silly and the young boy never looks scared. Why the search for the perfect monster? To join the other monsters as a new friend. The illustrations are silhouette that stand out against the bold color backgrounds. A book that children will find appealing. Sturdily built to ensuring numerous viewings.
