Twilight's here. The death bell rings. Everyone knows what the death bell brings?it's time for class! You're in the place where goblins wail and zombies drool. (That's because they're kindergartners.) Welcome to Monster School. In this entertaining collection of poems, award-winning poet Kate Coombs and debut artist Lee Gatlin bring to vivid life a wide and playful cast of characters (outgoing, shy, friendly, funny, prickly, proud) that may seem surprisingly like the kids you know . . . even if these kids are technically monsters.

"Katie Coombs imaginative verses employ a variety of forms that will send tingles down the spines of primary age readers while Lee Gatlin's creepy illustrations home in on the grim and gruesome with plenty of details of the shivery kind." -- Red Reading Hub

 

"Accompanied by macabre illustrations and plenty of gruesome humour, these spooky rhymes are great fun to read aloud to little monsters, particularly at Halloween." -- BookTrust

 

"This collection is beautifully and expressively illustrated, each page full of visual imagery waiting for the young reader to discover with delight. On the whole, it is a well-designed book which, I'm sure, children will love to own and treasure. An adult reading with a child will enjoy its referential nuances of mythology, folklore and childhood memories. A must-have children's book." -- Carousel
