Overview

Whimsical illustrations combine with cheeky verses in this quirky, hilarious alphabet book that introduces young readers to monsters from all over the world.
Monster ABC covers the full monster spectrum: Some are well-known (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Zombie), some are regional favorites (e.g., Jersey Devil, Sasquatch) and some come with a passport (e.g., Banshee, Krampus, Quetzalcoatl). These gorgeously rendered monsters and silly verses prove that monsters don't have to be scary—they can be as friendly and silly as we want them to be.

"From 'A is for Alien' to 'Z is for Zombie,' Monster ABC's rhyming text gives simple introductions to the monsters of the alphabet; silly illustrations make even the scariest of monsters near impossible to find frightening."
—Shelf Awareness


"Innovative, modern and incredibly fun. Rhyming board books are prevalent, but rollicking, fun ones are rarer. Incredibly imaginative and funny artwork"
—Creators Syndicate


"Twins Derek and Kyle Sullivan have a winner of a board book on their hands with Monster ABC."
—PDX Parent Magazine


"It’s a refreshing change from saccharine kids’ stories...This children's board book is quirky fun from Alien to Zombie."

"Monster ABC is our favorite new family book this year. Not only is the artwork amazing, but the rhymes for each letter make this a great, infinitely re-readable alphabet book."
—GeekDad.com

"Monster ABC parodies the worldly alphabet to create a more flexible, imaginative, less patriarchal view of letters and the world at large.”
—Dr. Rebecca A. Brown, No More Apples, No More Zebras: C is for Chupacabra and Other Happy Gothic Lessons in Monster ABC

Read an Excerpt

Some monsters seem spooky when seen at first glance, but who knows if they’re scary if we don’t give them a chance?

A is for Alien, from way out of town, B is for Banshee who won't quiet down.

C is for Chupacabra with a lot to digest, D is for Demon who can be such a pest.

E is for Enchantress with powers so grand, F is for Frankenstein's monster, crafted by hand.

G is for Ghost who gave us a start, H is for Hobgoblin who smells like a fart.
