Where is Cheeky Monster?
by Mike Lucas
Illustrated by Heidi McKinnon
Published by Penguin Random House Australia
ISBN 9781761341984
Such a delightful book for younger children, using a fun, happy method of story telling to demonstrate good, thoughtful behaviour.
It is clever, uses all the tricks to encourage good behaviour while tempting children to turn the page for the next micro story, while searching for the cheeky monster who seems to be missing from the story.
The cheeky monster isn't missing, but readers have to keep turning the pages to try and find it and find it they will, eventually and probably burst out laughing. The author has used a cute and clever idea to write this delightful book to make little ones think about their behaviour in an amusing story. The illustrations not only compliment the words they bring it to life . We love it!
