Description
"This morning, there was a monster in my kitchen. He was sitting on the counter and getting bigger and bigger."
Grandma Rosi said it: if you want a beautiful and delicious monster, you need some elbow grease! You have to mold the monster, knead it, attack it, hit it! And when it moves, when bubbles come out of its belly? Quick, flatten it down, you need to master your monster! And then? Heat, and a nice nap. Discover the best monster recipe in this new picturebook by storyteller Marie-France Comeau.
The late Rosi Jory, a New-Brunswick artist, is at the roots of this book. She unfortunately passed away before it could be edited and published. Here it is translated back to English by Rosi's daughter.
