When a Monster is Born

By Sean Taylor

Published by Orchard Books

'When a monster is born there are two possibilities'…so this tale of the twists of fate begins. Sean Taylor's text leads the reader through the two different ways a monster's life could turn out, following his progress from a home under a little girl's bed, to a chaotic visit to school, to meeting another monster and falling in love. The story comes full-circle, finishing with a satisfying conclusion. Nick Sharratt's distinctive illustrations are bold and vibrant and enhanced by different types of text and collage effects. A fun-filled book, which will be great to read-aloud.
