A Monster Ate My Mom

It’s a typical morning in a typical house ... or so one little girl thinks. Instead of her usual singing, her mom is growling. The whole house feels strange. When the children are served oatmeal instead of their usual pancakes, one little girl realizes something is very wrong. That feeling only grows deeper when her mom eats both her siblings! What is this little girl to do when her mom is replaced by a monster? Pancakes are the least of her worries in this silly story about unconditional love.

This hilarious picture book from author Danny Schnitzlein will have picky eaters begging for more. What do you dread eating the most? For one young boy, it's peas, but he's discovered a seemingly simple solution. He makes a bargain with a fiendishly funny monster who will eat the boy's peas in exchange for his soccer ball. But soon, peas are on the menu again and with each new encounter, the monster's demands escalate. Eventually, our hero faces a daunting decision―can he conquer his loathing for peas, or will he lose his most prized possession? Danny Schnitzlein's verse combines with Matt Faulkner's uproariously detailed illustrations to create a clever story about how far we're willing to go to avoid the things we hate.
