Children's Picture book. Spooky upside down elements. Turning the book upside down, ordinary things like a table of vegetables become Monsters. Read around 1990s.

[J.N.]

I'm looking for a children's picture book I read in my childhood (early 1990s). I don't remember much except that it had a spooky theme to it and when turned upside down the pictures would create monsters out of ordinary things like a table of vegetables. I believe it may have had a boy as the main character.

Waking Upside Down fits a little.

Were the illustrations realistic, colorful, full page, etc?
Anything about the cover?

[J.N.]

I'll check that out and see. I remember the illustrations being on the realistic side and while colorful, in a dark way. I believe they were full page. Unfortunately can't remember the cover at all.

J.N., are you still looking for this or did you find it?

[J.N.]

Still looking. I feel like I will never figure it out.
