Publisher Description
Frankenstein isn't your typical monster. For starters, he only has one head, just two eyes, and no tail. And worst of all, he's sort of nice! Frankenstein quickly realizes his friendly behavior is out of place at the Valentine's Day Bash.
There's one monster, though, who likes that Frankenstein is different. Can Frankenstein figure out the identity of his secret valentine? And can the other monsters finally accept Frankenstein for the monster that he is?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A menagerie of monsters with tentacles, multiple eyes, and pointy teeth are preparing for Valentine's Day festivities. And then there's Frankenstein's monster. Though he is confident in his tuxedo and "comfortable in his own green skin," the friendly creature is ostracized for looking too human. At the cemetery jubilee, nothing Frankenstein does is mean, gross, or monstrous enough: his cupcake lacks bugs, his table manners are too fine, and his burp is considered no more than a hiccup. But Frankenstein's secret admirer, who gives him a valentine, leads the other monsters to accept him friendliness and all. Drippy, drooly, slime-covered monsters in bright hues by Banks (The Frankenstein Journals) are just fiendish enough to provide light scares, while the Valentine's Day Halloween mash-up is ideal for kids who think smooching is pretty gross. Ages 5 9.
