Go Away, Big Green Monster! (Hardcover)

By turning these stiff, die-cut pages, even very young children can assemble a green monster with "two big yellow eyes...a long blue nose...[and] a big red mouth with sharp white teeth..." and then make it go away again, feature by feature. Emberley, a Caldecott medalist whose delightful drawing books demonstrate a combination of rudimentary forms to create a world of images, uses simple shapes in bright colors to build a scowling, cartoonish face that seems to float against the solid black field - scary, but deliciously so. A satisfying game that may also allay some nighttime fears. (Kirkus Reviews)

What has a bluish-greenish nose, sharp white teeth, and big yellow eyes?

It's Big Green Monster!

But don't be frightened. Turn the pages of this die-cut book and watch him grow. Then, when you're ready to show him who's in charge, just turn the remaining pages, and make him disappear.

With Go Away, Big Green Monster!, Caldecott Award-winning author-artist Ed Emberley has created an ingenious way for kids to chase away their nighttime monsters.

A book that you and your child can read together, as recommended on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
