Monster Ventures into Uncharted Territory: School!

Monster and Boy are back for another adventure! And this time the best friends are headed somewhere no monster has ventured before: school! Ever since Monster (who sleeps under the bed) and Boy (who sleeps in the bed) met and became best friends, they've been spending their days playing together. But some days, Boy leaves and Monster is alone.

Wanting to learn more about where his friend goes, Monster makes a plan to go with Boy to...school! There, Monster meets Boy's teacher and classmates, learns about cubbies and the sharing circle, and even helps solve a mystery when a pet hedgehog goes missing.

Told with a warm, cozy voice, Hannah Barnaby's story is brought to life with adorable two-color illustrations by Anoosha Syed. Filled with adventure, humor, and imagination, Monster and Boy: Monster's First Day of School is a perfect chapter book for sharing with kids just aging out of picture books and for newly independent readers. This fun and playful tale of friendship is sure to engage reluctant readers and makes a great read aloud book for early readers.
