Blue Monster wants to play with Rabbit – but Rabbit is sleeping and doesn’t want to play. SO... what should Blue Monster do?
Blue Monster does something you should NEVER do and then... he does it again and again!
Now he DEFINITELY has no one to play with! He feels sad, lonely and VERY guilty. But when Blue Monster opens
his mouth and YAWNS... what a surprise!
Things may get better after all! If Blue Monster only says he’s sorry...

"Illustrated with his usual panache, Petr Horáček’s tale is a surprising mix of friendship and silliness; it’s also a tad anarchic and a terrific read-aloud that will both shock and amuse young listeners as well as being a great starting point for discussion, be that in the classroom or at home."

"A blue monster realises that swallowing the people he wants to play with isn’t the best way to make friends."

"The artwork is wonderful, with chaotic scribbles adding to the colours of the animals and the sense of movement, and just the right amount of facial expression for a young reader to pore over, matching the text well. When the animals emerge from being swallowed by the monster, the downturned mouths and sidelong glances catch the mood perfectly."

"A lovely, colourful picture book for under 7s... Lightly and gently, themes around emotional control are explored in an easily accessible way. The text is arranged around the lovely, colorful illustrations, with interesting vocabulary choices, conventional punctuation, and capitalisation for voice volume making this a good text for early literacy exploration."
