Crankenstein


CRANKENSTEIN by Samantha Berger with illustrations by Dan Santat. LBYR, 2013.

Meet Crankenstein, but BEWARE! This is one of the grumpiest monsters ever to grace the pages of a book. Crankenstein seems never to have a good day. First there is school (UGH!), then weather and icky tasting cough syrup. No matter the trouble, it is certain to get a rise from Crankenstein. Will someone ever be able to coax a smile from this monster? What would it take? Santat's bold, outsized illustrations scream off the page as does our reluctant "hero." <613>
