A picture book that will colour your world in many ways
Alice Hoogstad’s latest picture book creates a world without words yet filled with stories.
In a town that consists entirely of black and white, a girl adds colour with her crayons by drawing monsters on the streets. The colourful monsters come alive and start disrupting the quiet little town.
The beautiful illustrations, with their many intricate details, instantly draw you into the story. The explosion of colours that follows will boggle your mind and keep you coming back for more.
Beware – you’d better keep the colour crayons out of your children’s reach after reading this book . . . They might become too inspired!
‘This wordless book shows the power of art for a whole community … [It] celebrates public art and then turns whimsical and magical as the creatures come to life … There is a radiant quality to the colors that are used and the loose and generous way the colors are applied invites children to be even more creative when they color too.’
– Waking Brain Cells
‘In her own recognisable style, Alice Hoogstad has created a wonderfully appealing picture book, with a beautiful background pattern of houses and people that is consistently maintained throughout. Once you start leafing through Monster Book, you’ll feel like grabbing colour crayons yourself.’
