Did the ink really go haywire or is there a second (or third?) bird? I did think that the first illustration of the monster within the book made the monster look goofy and friendly, but then his appearance does manage to change for a while. I admit I’m a bit perplexed about a bird that seems to change from blue-green to red. The illustrations are outstanding and so creative. My favorite line is “…out of the monstrous predicament he has been drawn into so thoughtlessly.” That gave me one of the many chuckles I experienced while reading this book.Īs I was reading I thought the pictures & story might be frightening for some particularly sensitive young children, but as the story (and pictures!) shifted, I thought it was the perfect book for children who are afraid of monsters. It’s ingenious and fun to read, and it’s actually quite well written. This is a very funny story with a clever twist. ![]()
