A day in the life of a father and son, from getting up in the morning till going to bed at night, is all pretty routine—unless the father and son happen to be monsters. Every double-page spread in this clever picture book portrays a different monster father (Godzilla, The Mummy, Loch Ness Monster, etc.) and his son, whose mundane activities take on a new twist in various monstrous contexts. The Creature from the Black Lagoon and his son fish with a net underwater, beneath unsuspecting human legs. Frankenstein tickles his son with several severed hands. And Baby King Kong yawns as his father holds him in the same arms he uses to clutch the Empire State Building. The rhyming text is sweet and doesn’t mention the monsters at all, so much of the humor in the book is derived from the contrast between the sing-songy narrative and the illustrations where (not-so-scary) monsters wreak havoc. (Ages 3–5)

Romp along with parent and child yetis, werewolves, giant lizards, and more as they stir up some monster-sized fun! Readers big and small, young and old, wild and tame, will roar with laughter and take this book by the horns, teeth, and fur...discovering that monsters and humans aren't so different—especially in the ways they love each other.
