Determined not to be labeled a monster any longer, a purple-haired, wild-eyed creature with horns and fangs asks that the reader instead call him by his name, Floyd Peterson. Despite the many characteristics that might seem to make him monstrous, Floyd finds the moniker hurtful... not to mention
The second collaboration between author Jory John and illustrator Bob Shea, following upon their initial I Will Chomp You, Quit Calling Me a Monster! is a humorous and entertaining tale. Floyd's many excited exclamations, his growling and carrying on, would make for an excellent read-aloud experience at story-hour. The artwork, colorful and cartoon-like, accentuates its hero's amusing antics. Recommended to younger children who might be afraid of that monster in the closet - it's only Floyd Peterson, after all - and to anyone looking for humorous tales for kids.
