Another picture book, from my childhood, which is all about the Monster coming! Yes, it’s a very black, hairy and scary monster, that is terrifying all the animals. I love the pictures of this book, there full of so much detail. But what I so love about this book, and remember reading, it for the first time, when at primary school, who was the monster. Was, it a bunyip, or a real monster, even an ape? We, don’t get told, your allowed to use your imagination, and this is what I really love about the book!

A great book for kids, and parents to read to your kids. Beware, it may be a little scary for very young kids, as indeed the Monster is coming!

We read this in prep or grade 1, or had it read to us! A lovely bush tale.
