When Paddy goes on an overnight visit to his grandfathers, he thinks his grandfathers house is bigger and darker and spookier than he remembered. When things start to go bump in the night, Paddy is sure that hes hearing monsters. So Pop does what any grandfather would do -- he builds a monster trap.

The next night, the monster trap is set, baited with a delicious (to a monster) snack that Pop assures Paddy no monster will be able to resist. Paddy waits for a sign that the trap has snared a monster, but he soon discovers that the trap doesnt work in quite the way that Pop imagined.

Lavishly illustrated with Dean Morrisseys spectacular oil paintings, the monster trap will delight fans of his earlier works, as well as anyone who has ever wondered just what it was they heard under their bed or deep in their closet in the middle of the night.
