Book summary

A small, mischievous boy meets up with an entire troop of archetypal monsters in this Maurice Sendak-illustrated pop-up extravaganza engineered by the well-known Matthew Reinhart. Searching for his mommy in a dungeon leads the curious, blue-pajamed boy into the creepy realm of a mad scientist, Count Dracula, and even Frankenstein's monster, but the boy isn't fazed one bit. Soon, he has them all spinning in confusion, some even literally! With only one word in the text and two well-made pop-ups per page, this is a Halloween treat. A 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
