Product Description
by Jory John (Author), Bob Shea (Illustrator)
The talented creators of I Will Chomp You brilliantly frame the struggle to buck stereotypes and learn empathy in this monster's hilarious lament.
Floyd Peterson is so much more than shaggy purple fur and pointy monster teeth--why can't people just see him for him? Jory John and Bob Shea have struck gold in creating a knee-slapping, read-it-again story that will start a valuable discussion about how we treat others and how it feels to be seen as "different."
