Not Now Bernard
Bernard's parents are so busy doing their own thing, that they don't notice the monster in the garden. In fact, the monster can eat Bernard's dinner, break his toys, and even say 'But I'm a monster', without being noticed! So Bernard tries to befriend the monster- and that doesn't go quite to plan.

"Not Now Bernard is THE book of our times" * Frank Cottrell-Boyce *
"It's so good!" * Adam Buxton *
"Possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It's so powerful, it's so funny, dark - it's everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time... It's funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old" * Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown *
"Even very young children see the joke." * T.E.S. *
