Monster ABC (Hazy Dell Press Monster Series)

Monster ABC (Hazy Dell Press Monster Series)

by Derek Sullivan (Author), Kyle Sullivan (Author)

Synopsis

The classic ABC book gets a darkly comic makeover with Monster ABC. Kids with an appreciation for the offbeat and spooky will love this thorough catalogue of ghouls. You know Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster, but what about Quetzalcoatl, the feathered snake god, or Xing Tian, whose face is on his belly and whose head is nowhere to be seen? A wry description accompanies each cute illustration, making this an indispensable bedtime book for both parents and children who delight in the darker corners of the imagination.

Media Reviews

From A is for Alien to Z is for Zombie, twins Derek and Kyle Sullivan have a winner of a board book on their hands with Monster ABC. --PDX Parent Magazine

It's a refreshing change from saccharine kids' stories, and includes verses like 'G is for Ghost who gave us a start/H is for Hobgoblin who smells like a fart' and 'Y is for Yeti who's quite hard to find/Z is for Zombie with your brain on his mind.' The children's board book is quirky fun from Alien to Zombie. --Seattle Times ShopNW Christmas Gift Guide

Monster ABC is our favorite new family book this year. Not only is the artwork amazing, but the rhymes for each letter make this a great, infinitely re-readable alphabet book. --GeekDad.com Holiday Gift Guide

Author Bio

Derek and Kyle Sullivan are just your average set of monozygotic twins on a mission to conjure stories and characters that parents enjoy as much as their children. To get there, they never lose sight of their target audience: themselves as children.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest on crayons, ghost stories and fish sticks, Derek is now a Seattle-based illustrator and designer, while Kyle bides his time as a writer in Portland.
