• Little Girl in an Egg

Meet Mon Monster. This giant creature has pink fur, one big eye, an enormous mouth, and a unique gift: his head grows a bottomless supply of fruit. That’s right: mangoes, strawberries—they all come out of his noggin, like magic. But this good-natured, fruit-growing, adventure-loving monster has a bad habit: sometimes, he eats people. It’s nothing personal; he just can’t help himself. Then one day Mon Monster meets a little girl who changes everything. Her remarkable kindness and understanding makes a big impression on our monster, who ultimately discovers his real value as a living creature—and gives up the people-chomping. Now, the question is whether the Mon Monster can set right his past actions—and whether his former victims will learn to live life to the fullest with their second chance. Gorgeously illustrated in vivacious full color, this immersive book will hypnotize young readers with its imaginative world. The brilliantly rendered text, striking paintings of the monster and his adventures, and deep message of empathy and understanding will make this a favorite of kids and parents alike.
