The classic ABC book gets a darkly comic makeover with Monster ABC. Kids with an appreciation for the offbeat and spooky will love this thorough catalogue of ghouls. You know Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster, but what about Quetzalcoatl, the feathered snake god, or Xing Tian, whose face is on his belly and whose head is nowhere to be seen? A wry description accompanies each cute illustration, making this an indispensable bedtime book for both parents and children who delight in the darker corners of the imagination.

- Book 1 of 5: Hazy Dell Press Monster
Whimsical illustrations combine with cheeky verses in this quirky, hilarious alphabet book that introduces young readers to monsters from all over the world.
Monster ABC covers the full monster spectrum: Some are well-known (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Zombie), some are regional favorites (e.g., Jersey Devil, Sasquatch) and some come with a passport (e.g., Banshee, Krampus, Quetzalcoatl). These gorgeously rendered monsters and silly verses prove that monsters don't have to be scary—they can be as friendly and silly as we want them to be.

"From 'A is for Alien' to 'Z is for Zombie,' Monster ABC's rhyming text gives simple introductions to the monsters of the alphabet; silly illustrations make even the scariest of monsters near impossible to find frightening."
—Shelf Awareness
"Innovative, modern and incredibly fun. Rhyming board books are prevalent, but rollicking, fun ones are rarer. Incredibly imaginative and funny artwork"
—Creators Syndicate
"Twins Derek and Kyle Sullivan have a winner of a board book on their hands with Monster ABC."
—PDX Parent Magazine
"It’s a refreshing change from saccharine kids’ stories...This children's board book is quirky fun from Alien to Zombie."
—The Seattle Times
"Monster ABC is our favorite new family book this year. Not only is the artwork amazing, but the rhymes for each letter make this a great, infinitely re-readable alphabet book."
—GeekDad.com
"Monster ABC parodies the worldly alphabet to create a more flexible, imaginative, less patriarchal view of letters and the world at large.”
—Dr. Rebecca A. Brown, No More Apples, No More Zebras: C is for Chupacabra and Other Happy Gothic Lessons in Monster ABC
