The monsters are bored. They can’t agree on what to do. What is it like for a monster in large shoes to hopscotch? In the heat of the moment harsh words are exchanged and even the gentlest of monsters lose their temper.

★★★★ (FOUR STARS OUT OF FIVE POSSIBLE)
“Both big monster and little monster are adorable and it‘s impossible not to fall in love with them. As in previous books the story is narrated with bold pictures and concise text. … it is excellently made, it touches the reader and entertains him.”
Morgunbladid, Iceland

“Monster Squabbles brings out many of the series best features. Pictures and text are interwoven into a whole – a work of art – from start to finish. In this way, the reader is encouraged to read the pictures and the text as a whole – the interaction between these two factors is particularly well and creatively done. The book’s text is simple and becomes part of the image artwork with simple pictures and strong collage design as well as with people clear characteristics, exaggerated facial expressions and sweeping body language. The books’ ingenuity and psychological depth reaches children both emotionally and intellectually.”
