Meet Monster: The First Big Monster Book

Have you met Monster? He's not scary or mean like other monsters. He's tall, skinny, and purple, and he's curious about everything: making friends, finding a home, and exploring his city.

First introduced in 1973, Monster returns in this omnibus edition of six stories about a gentle, fun-loving monster, written by educators Ellen Blance and Ann Cook, who worked with children to write stories they would want to read. While most children's books are intended to be read to children, Meet Monster is a book that children can read to themselves or to adults.
