One hungry monster: a counting book in rhyme
O'Keefe, Susan Heyboer
One hungry monster: a counting book in rhyme - 1st. ed. - New York - 10 p. 3 x 0.58 x 6.5 inches (hardcover) - 1989
The adventures begin with one hungry monster beneath the bed, ready to be fed. Then two monsters chew up sneakers, and so on, up to 10. A young boy tries to keep his mischievous guests under control, but it's a losing battle as they make their way through the house in search of food. Rollicking rhymes describe the action as the little dickenses slide down banisters, swing from chandeliers, and wreak havoc in the kitchen. They won't be appeased until all 10 are seated at the table being served by the boy--one jug of juice, two loaves of bread, etc. The boy's exasperation is clearly evident in the comical illustrations, which are just quirky enough to keep everything from being too cute.
