PreS-Gr 1-Baby Monster is just perfect. "He had horrible little eyes and a horrible little nose and as soon as he was born, he scowled." His family is pleased with how quickly he learns "how to bash things and trash things" and to "sneer and snarl." Baby Monster's parents invite all the monster aunts, uncles, and cousins to his first birthday party, but when they ask him to give his relatives a "great big scowl," everyone shrieks and runs away. The final page reveals that the "perfect little baby monster-was smiling!" This amusing story is accompanied by cartoonlike illustrations "created in ink and colored in Photoshop." The monsters have a bearlike appearance, and Baby Monster is almost adorable despite his horrible little scowl. The lively, rhythmic text is well suited to reading aloud. Though his parents will be horrified, this little monster is sure to please.
