It is time for the annual Best Pet Monster in the World Competition. Albert can't wait to enter his pet monster, Sidney. Albert is sure that Sidney is a winner, but as far as monsters go, Sidney is just a little too clean, too parasite-free, and too well-behaved. How will he ever win?
This is the kind of book that I lovingly like to refer to as a chuckler. It isn't laugh out loud funny, but each spread would produce a bit of a chuckle, a smile, and a feeling of good fun. I love the play on a dog's best in show contest, with typical things you would expect from a monster contest. Most parasites, smelliest farts, loudest burps. It's good old silly fun.
