👹 Monster Post

A riotously funny monster adventure packed with disgusting recipes, clever surprises and letters to open.

Why I chose it

I chose this one for children who love their stories a little silly, a little spooky and wonderfully gross.

Beast has found a tasty dinner and invited all his monster friends to a feast. There’s just one problem: Dinner is a child who definitely does not want to be eaten!

As Beast’s friends send their cooking instructions through hilarious letters, Dinner must find a way to convince Beast to change his menu. With lift-the-flap letters, comically disgusting recipes and a wonderfully unexpected friendship at its heart, this is a story full of humour and imagination.

From award-winning author-illustrator Emma Yarlett, Monster Post has received glowing praise from The Guardian, which called it “a riotous picture book party.” The book also follows the success of Yarlett’s popular Dragon Post and Santa Post series.
