Once there was a very scary monster. His fur was wild and weird, he carried a club with giant bristles on it, and his teeth were green and mossy because he never, ever brushed them. All the other animals in the forest were terrified of the monster, and scurried away whenever they saw him coming. But one day, the very scary monster started to hiccup. He tried everything he could, but the hiccups would not go away! In the end, the monster must turn to the other animals in the forest for help. Together, they come up with an ingenious plan to get rid of those pesky hiccups. The Scariest Monster in the World is a humorous, beautifully illustrated tale which all young readers will enjoy.
