Excerpt: There and Back Again, a Herman Tale (by (author) Paul McAllister; illustrated by Emily Brown)
There once was a monster named Herman. Herman was your average under-the-bed monster. Not too short, not too tall, not too hairy, not too slimy, with just the right amount of fangs, and the right amount of claws.
