About the Book
Kids gobble up monster tales because the "good guys" win. This charming large-print book, simply titled Monster Stories, contains four tales: "The Monster's Challenge," about a baby monster three times the size of a grown man; "Boris Fights the Monster," about a bored young man who encounters an ugly monster itching for a fight; "Monster in the River," about two sisters on vacation who meet a monster with a good heart; and "The Curse," about a boy named Jake, who drives people away by scaring or insulting them, until he meets a fairy, who "transforms" him and his behavior in more way than one. Young readers will encounter strange creatures and learn important lessons. European English spelling/language conventions
