Monster Mama

Even though she's a real monster, Patrick Edward loves his morn — especially when she uses her powers to tame a trio of young bullies — in this exuberantly illustrated picture book about the universal love between a mother and child."One person's monster is another's mom. Young readers know that already, but they have just been reminded in a hilarious way". — Horn Book
