Young readers will delight in discovering each of the different “monsters” that pop up in this charming book as each page is turned. And when they reach the last page, what monster will they find lurking there?

There’s no story here, just a series of intricate pop-ups for young children to enjoy.
This book is a very short book with rhyming. Each page has a pop up monster and describes the monster.

This is a book from my personal collection from when I was a child. I use to have my mother read this to me frequently and she always used such wonderful voices when she did. Even though it is a simple reader and short the popups are amazing. This is a wonderful book for young children, it also helps "monsters" not seem like such a horrible thing.

Classroom extensions:
- The students can each create their own monster mask using paper plates and a largevariety of craft materials.
- Using the masks we can create our own Little Monsters story where each student, wearing their mask, will jump out and describe their monster..ex: this little show more monster likes to jump up high. show less

Jan Pienkowski was born in Warsaw in 1936. During the war Pienkowski moved a lot, from Poland to Austria, Germany, Italy and finally to England in 1946. He went to The Cardinal Vaughan School in London and then to King's College, Cambridge, where he read Classics and English and became involved in stage design. Pienkowski co-founded the greetings show more card company, Gallery Five. He worked in advertising, publishing, and doing graphics for the BBC children's TV series Watch! In his spare time, he started to illustrate books for children. He won the Library Association Kate Greenaway Medal in 1972 for his silhouette illustrations to Joan Aiken's The Kingdom Under The Sea and again in 1980 for Haunted House. Jan pioneered the modern Pop-up book with Haunted House, Robot, Dinner Time, Good Night and 17 others. Meg and Mog, the series of books which Jan created with Helen Nicoll, has reached 14 titles. Four of them became the Meg and Mog Show, exuberantly staged by David Wood and designed for the West End by Jan. His lifelong interest in stage design landed other commissions: two shows for Theatre de Complicite, then Beauty and the Beast for The Royal Ballet, Covent Garden and a spectacular Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland, Paris.
