Enjoy 13 eye-popping poems about misbehaving monsters. Wacky comedy and amusing art appeal to fans of Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl, and Shel Silverstein.

With bold colors and twisted humor, Attaboy's zany rhymes introduce off-the-wall characters (a child who is a sock magnet), highlights the adorably peculiar (a hugging cactus), and juxtaposes the mundane (counting sheep to sleep) with the bizarre (zombie clowns).

Plus there's the title story. Because of his beastly behavior, Gustav's parents hire an expert to determine if their son is truly a monster! How does he compare to a cornucopia of creatures who behave really badly? Enjoy hidden jokes and hilarious wordplay in this collection from an irreverent pop culture creator.

With a theatrical eye for the absurd and unbridled paintbrush, Attaboy's funny anthology of illustrated poems will entertain everyone who is a kid at heart. Kids will like Attaboy’s designs, since his fantastic collectible toys and gallery paintings have attracted legions of devoted fans worldwide.

You Might be a Monster brims with a visual cornucopia that will grab adult’s attention. These monsters may come from other dimensions, but will find a home squarely in the classrooms of teachers and librarians who appreciate strikingly original wit, imagination, and voice in an anthology format.

“Attaboy's creepy cool monsters are an insane delight. They'll leap off the page, squirm through your optic nerve, and haunt your brain forever. And that's a good thing."
- Mark Frauenfelder, founder of Boing Boing

"Have you ever wondered if you might be a monster? Well, Attaboy can tell you! In his super-awesome new book...you'll learn what happens to missing socks, why you shouldn't hug a cactus, how to escape from zombie clowns, and lots of other very useful and important information. The stories are really fun to read and illustrated in Attaboy's unique style. The book debuts at SDCC, and I can't wait to add one to my already stellar collection of Immedium books!” – Tokyo Bunnie
