After wreaking havoc on the planets of its own galaxy, a hungry monster sets off in its spaceship for a pretty blue planet called Earth. A little boy called Tommy Brown, who is particularly scared of monsters, is singled out for a visit...
Review:
What little boy doesn't love monsters that yell out things like "I'm coming to get you!" - my 2.5 year old requests this book almost every night, immediately before bedtime (and we then often hear him calling out the same phrase from his bedroom, and giggling away!). A funny wee twist at the end of this story makes the monster not nearly as scary as it had tried to be throughout the story, and even got a smirk out of my husband!
My rating: 4 out of 5 - a good boys' book.
