A rollicking reminder of the virtues of a clean room, with a new twist on the Loch Ness Monster legend!

Ever since Angus was a wee baby monster living below the surface of Loch Ness, his parents tried to teach him to be a proper monster. But as Angus grows bigger, he gets sloppy. Puggy-nit peanut shells are piling up; his grottie laundry is in a heap; tattie cans litter the floor. It’s a mountain of a mess! And as Angus’s rubbish heap grows, a surprising Loch Ness sighting of his own awaits on the surface of the lake . . . Children will love the twist at the end of this monstrously funny cautionary tale!

"Believable, appealing characters and pitch-perfect pacing combine nicely with Lester's always-humorous text and Munsinger's hilariously detailed illustrations in this cheerful cautionary tale." - Kirkus

"Munsinger's ink-and-watercolor illustrations add to the story's deadpan humour, and although this is a message book, the lesson is delivered with such hilarity it never feels preachy." - Booklist

"Youngsters will fall in love with Angus, and adult will appreciate the laugh-out-loud lessons Angus learns about the hazards of a messy bedroom." - School Library Journal
