How many monsters are standing on their heads? . . . How many monsters are holding balloons? Cake-stealing monsters, nose-picking monsters, monsters who hide under the bed and stick out their tongues. Bumpy, lumpy, smiling monsters - perfectly suitable for the very young - are all up to their tricks, as children are encouraged to life the flaps and shout out numbers from 1 to 10. This exciting debut from a new, young, talented artist is a hilarious treat for children, and for parents too.
