Searching for his mommy in a dungeon leads the curious, blue-pajamed boy into the creepy realm of a mad scientist, Count Dracula, and even Frankenstein’s monster, but the boy isn’t fazed one bit. Soon, he has them all spinning in confusion, some even literally! With only one word in the text and two well-made pop-ups per page, this is a Halloween treat. A 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.
While looking for his mother in a haunted house, a little boy plays pranks on the monster inhabitants. Features pop-up illustrations on foldout pages.
