Check out a Monster Book!

The Petworth Children's Room has plenty of spooky (and fun!) materials to get you in the Halloween spirit. Some of our favorites:

There Was an Old Monster! by Rebecca, Adrian and Ed Emberley

Fans of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly will love this rollicking story and its wild illustrations.  What happens when a monster swallows a tick?  He feels sick, of course!  (You can also listen along to the "There Was an Old Monster" song.)

Jeepers Creepers
Jeepers Creepers: A Monstrous ABC by Laura Leuck

Meet 26 wacky monsters, each with a unique trait (including sauerkraut-smelling hair, a disappearing head, a glowing belly button and 15 purple toes!).  But the freakiest monster of all?  Find out on the last page!

The Monster Trap by Dean Morrissey

Monsters keeping you awake at night?  Maybe you need to build a monster trap of your own!  Will the trap work, or will it just create more monster trouble?  What is the best way to deal with a monster problem?

These books and many, many more are available at the Petworth Library.  Stop by and find a new favorite!
