When a monster is born, there are two possibilities… each episode in this comical story presents a choice between absurd alternatives (“Either it sits quietly and does its homework . . . or it eats the Principal”), followed by an equally absurd–and frequently unexpected– outcome (“If it sites quietly, that’s that. But if it eats the Principal, there are two possibilities…”). A subversive and satisfying take on “What if . . . ?” illustrated in bright pick-me-up colors, When a Monster is Born will have readers imagining unlikely stories of their own–and laughing out loud.
