The Book Monster

The Book Monster

The Book Monster is a picture book about a girl and her voracious appetite for books.

Sybil isn’t in denial. Her Book Monster transformations are hardly problematic. The boy receiving a new library card hasn’t disrupted her visit at all. She loves lines. She hasn’t waited months for the book he’s unshelved. Eating the boy was a perfectly reasonable response.  But, her stomach aches. Is it the boy? Guilt? Both? She could spit him out and relinquish the book, but… what if she doesn’t want to?
