Yuck! That's Not a Monster by Angela McAllister, illustrated by Alison Edgson

2010/32 pgs.

About the Book: Mr. and Mrs. Monster are waiting for their monster hatchlings. The first hatching is a scary blue monster and the second is a scaly green monster. But the third hatching is fluffy and pink and cute-yuck!

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Yuck! That's Not a Monster is a fun take on the ugly duckling story. Little Shock is the pink monster and he's a shock to his monster family. He has no scales or lumps and instead is very cute and cuddly. He likes to give kisses instead of roar and go scaring.

Kids will get a kick of the twist on the monster story. Little Shock may not seem like a monster, but he saves the day in the end and will leave readers cheering. Bright colorful illustrations and large easy to read text make this a great book for read alouds.
