D Is for Drool

My Monster Alphabet

Flashlight Press · Print & ebook · February 17, 2026

"A monstrously effective lid-dropper....Being all smiles, and more likely to elicit snorts of amusement than screams of terror, the monstrous marchers crawling, oozing, slithering, or strolling into and out of view with each page turn have the intended soporific effect." - Kirkus Reviews When Ethan can't sleep, he doesn't count sheep – he says his ABCs.
