The Very Worst Monster
(Puffin Books)
978-0140505658, RRP £3.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
When Billy Monster is born poor Hazel is very much ignored. Everyone is convinced that Billy will grow up to be the worst monster in the world despite Hazel's aspirations to that title. But even her worst efforts at eliminating her rival seem doomed to failure. By using monsters and inventing a world where worst is best, Pat Hutchins cleverly defuses the strong feelings provoked by sibling jealousy and puts and acceptable face to such dreadful actions as losing Billy or giving him away.
