Book excerpt: When little Larence wakes up with a growly tummy, he decides to feed the monster inside with Monster Charms, his favorite cereal. But what happens next surprises everyone. As soon as he takes his first bite of Monster Charms, out pops a green, warty hand that knocks over Larence’s orange juice. While his mother blames the hand on Larence’s active imagination, he knows otherwise, especially when he starts sporting monster teeth, spikes on his back, and a whole host of other monster-like features. Will his mother ever believe that he’s actually developing into a monster? In this delightful tale, when a hungry little boy with a giant imagination feeds the monster inside his tummy, he discovers he’s growing in ways he never imagined!
