This Little Monster: A Spooky Nursery Rhyme

PreS-K–What are all the little monsters up to? This simple text, a fun twist on the classic “This Little Piggy” nursery rhyme, takes readers along to see, one-by-one, cheerful monster friends gathering to welcome a new friend home. It starts with a witch who goes to the market to get the ingredients needed to make treats for the spooky, sweet housewarming party. Each subsequent line of the rhyme takes readers on an adventure across fields and forest, finally reaching a little ghost, who may have stayed home—but the party came to them! Digital illustrations in a bright seasonal palette feature whimsical, cartoonish characters set against richly detailed backgrounds and provide opportunities for discussion and engagement. For example, can children find the mouse in each illustration? This book is ideal for festive story times or early literacy discussions about friendship and celebration.
