Summary: |
A monster who is shunned for his ugliness finds relief from loneliness when he befriends an inanimate rabbit he carved from stone. Annotation. Once in a cave, lived a horrible ugly monster. Perhaps the most horrible and ugly monster in the world. . . . So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence. But the monster is not ugly on the inside; he's just lonely. So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but even stones can't stand the full force of the monster's smile, and they all shatter . . . except for one. From the innovative author-illustrator Chris Wormell comes the story of a monster whose inner beauty will touch readers of all ages. |
