# A Monster Is Eating This Book - Hardcover

by **Karen Kilpatrick** (Author), **German Blanco** (Illustrator)

**For fans of _The Book With No Pictures_ and _The Monster at the End of this Book_, this funny and interactive picture book showcases a word-eating monster and the (adorable) surprise behind this frightful creature.**

Beware: There is a sleeping monster within these pages. But this is no ordinary monster. This monster eats _words_. And when the monster is awake, it gets HUNGRY. So you have to be _very_ careful and _very_ quiet while reading. If you hear a growl--run fast.

Oh no, what's that? The monster's woken up! How are we supposed to finish this book when all the words are being eaten? And who--or what--is this fearsome creature exactly? The answer to that question, I'm afraid, is totally . . . adorable.
