Critics Review
“Rex smartly teases out the will-he, won’t-he just long enough… . Little readers will be briefly flabbergasted and quite giggly. Rex’s clean-lined cartoons are beautifully paced… . A silly and surprising picture book that will quickly join regular rotation.”—Kirkus Reviews“The hairy, snaggletoothed, horned monster who appears at Pete’s window isn’t some misunderstood creature in search of a friend, the kind of character that’s a fixture in so many children’s books. Nope, this monster has one goal in mind: ‘EAT PETE!’ … Readers should enjoy this clever tale from Rex (Goodnight Goon) about impulse control and its surprisingly sympathetic monster.”—Publishers Weekly
