Ten Creepy Monsters Written and illustrated by Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis “Ten creepy monsters met ‘neath a gnarled pine. One blew away, and then there were nine.” A familiar rhyme follows this troupe of monsters through the night as one by one they are left behind (for one reason or another.) Who will remain? This is a great book for Halloween, but also makes a fun year-round read for little monster-lovers. I am very excited about this book! It has monsters!! I don’t know about you, but I really like monsters!! From the critics “This countdown romp begins with a front-cover portrait of 10 smiling and grimacing monsters before they set forth on their perilous adventure. So continues the predictable rhyme, with the various creatures meeting mostly unfortunate ends... Some do not perish but are only distracted... As the numbers dwindle, only a squat, goblin-green monster remains ....Armstrong-Ellis injects just the right amount of humor into her portrayals of the ghoulish bunch, keeping the tone appropriately light, despite the body count. Best for younger readers who prefer thrills and chills with an occasional giggle.” - Kirkus Reviews “No tricks here! Everything about Ten Creepy Monsters is such a treat, from the boo-tiful illustrations of werewolves, witches, mummies and all the other things that go bump in the night, to the not-too-scary storyline that will have everyone who reads it howling with delight...

Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis... really outdid herself with this one. Ten Creepy Monsters is the kind of book that’s destined to be a Halloween classic, but it’s so clever and fun kids will want to read it all year round.” - Children’s Book-of-the-Month "Generously detailed acrylics provide a touch of nefarious charm, while a tender surprise ending should gratify trick-or-treaters." —Publishers Weekly *Buy this book!
