Description
Is there a monster under your bed? Is it fat, with only one eye and big sharp claws? Then this is a GROSS monster. But no worries, it is terrified of brass bands! All you have to do to scare it away is to play some loud marching music. But what if the monster is not a GROSS one, but a TOOTHED one? Or even a FURRY one? Here’s a good piece of advice: “Call OTTO LOCUST!”
The picture book How to Frighten a Monster has many layers. It speaks about the monster that lives within us and causes problems that seem insurmountable. It talks about peer violence. And finaly about an adventure of two boys.
How to Frighten a Monster is a thrilling story about a brave boy who comes to the aid of a frightened friend, a small encyclopedia of monsters and a guide to tricks to chase them away, as well as a story about peer violence. In the descriptions of individual monsters, the author’s well-known originality and wit come to the fore (toothed monsters, for example, do not tolerate raspberry cough syrup, moreover, they feel sick if they only see an advertisement for it…)
