REVIEW:

Poetry is often a form that feels like it’s dying out in the modern age, unless of course, you’re reading a picture book. Within this offering are poems of monsters, of weird scenarios and above all else short escapism into a world of the unusual. It’s very well put together, the illustrations help the readers imagination and it was definitely something that I got a blast out of utilising it to help establish myths for my nephews to enjoy. I may have to make a “Finger in the biscuit box” just to add that freaky element for Halloween. Great stuff.
