Morris the Mankiest Monster
It's years since he last changed his t-shirt. It's crusty and crawling with ants. His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside. And potatoes grow out of his pants. Morris is sweet, charming... and completely disgusting!

More marvellous muckiness -- Helen Brown Daily Telegraph 20091205 Treading the tightrope between revolting and sweet is hard but Morris does it. What a gem! Books for Keeps 20100101 This is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's Pants will doubtless love it Junior 20091101 Must be the most revolting picture book of the year! ... This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it The Bookseller 20090717 Adults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it Nursery World 20100217 |
