A little purple monster tells an unseen author that he wants to be in a scary story. The only problem is that every time the author begins a story, it’s too scary for little purple monster. The dark and scary forest, the spooky house, witch inside the spooky house, the ghost inside the spooky house all prove to be too much for little purple monster. Maybe it would be better if little purple monster were in a funny story about a tweet-weeny monkey and his friend - a ginormous monkey. Scared, the little monster runs off, but in the end, he’s the guy in a scary story who get the last laugh. And, yes, little purple monster wants to be in another story the next day.
Julien’s bold ink and digitally colored illustrations done in a palette of Halloween colors add lots of scary ambience to the story. Though the word Halloween is no where to be found, this is a perfect story to read around that time, but it works year round, too.

A fun read aloud about a monster who thinks he wants to be scared until he finds out what waits for him inside a spooky house. Great for teaching kids about tone, dialogue, and finding books in one's comfort zone.

This story made me laugh out loud!
Little Monster wants to be in a story, a scary one. When she realizes that she is the one being scared she wants to do a different kind of story, where she gets to scare others. But somehow that doesn't work out quite right either! Maybe a funny story would be better...

Cute story with a little monster who is not as brave as he thinks he is. I can see that this would be a great read-aloud.
