One Hungry Monster is a board book, published in 2001 and written by Susan Heyboer O’Keefe, with illustrations by Lynn Munsinger. It is the story of a little boy who is trying to go to bed, but he is busy trying to control 10 hungry monsters. Publishers Weekly said, “O’Keefe’s verse abounds with carefree, playful imagery while Munsinger’s monsters are suitably pudgy and wide-eyed. They perfectly convey their imposing, excessive indulgences.”

Publishers Weekly said, “Readers lift flaps to trick-or-treat at a series of doors, from dusty and rusty to magical, all of which conceal inventively engineered insects. The finale features a pop-up graveyard with headstones bidding farewell to the likes of Mosquito Joe who tried to nibble my big toe.

Babies and toddlers will absolutely love all the fun pictures and pop-ups in these Halloween books. My personal favorite is the Winnie the Pooh book!
