Startled by their discovery of a monster, ten creative little birds fashion increasingly elaborate costumes in an attempt to scare him off before the 10th bird devises an effective solution, in a companion to the award-winningTen Birds . - Baker & Taylor
When ten little birds encounter a monster in the house, they use various pieces of laundry to make themselves look bigger and scarier to ward the monster away. - Grand Central Pub
After wandering down a hall and discovering a scattered assortment of clothes, ten birds were shocked to spot a scary monster! What were they to do? Grabbing a piece of clothing as a disguise, âthe first bird, always inventive, became a Vicious Polka-dactyl. But the monster didn't budge.â So the second bird, then the third bird, and so on, followed in turn, each adding some clothing to the mix to devise a new, frightening creature. But no matter that the birds were âresourceful,â âattentive,â âcreativeâ and âeager to participate,â or that they created fantastically scary beings such as a Gnashing Grapplesaurus, a Bristling Fang-Mangler and a Slimy Long-toed Zapper --- the monster would not be chased away. Until the tenth bird stepped forward, the one who was âalways easily distracted.â Could this be the bird who finally, and surprisingly, saved the day? This gorgeous picture book by award-winning author-illustrator Cybèle Young is perfect for counting and early numeracy lessons. Each of the numbers from one to ten gets its own spread, featuring two pieces of intricately detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. The smaller illustration incorporates the numeral into the drawing itself, while the larger one offers the opportunity to search for and count all the birds within the growing clothes monster. Filled with silliness, suspense and a terrific reveal at the end, this clever, funny story is also a wonderful read-aloud. It highlights how individual resourcefulness and creativity are magnified by the power of cooperation and teamwork. - Grand Central Pub
