The Monster Trap
By Dean Morrisey


     Paddy gets to stay with his pop while his parents are away, and he couldn’t be more excited! His excitement quickly changes, when he listens to “Monster Radio Theater” with Pop and realizes there are monsters coming out of the radio. They set up monster traps, each bigger than the last, but Paddy’s afraid that they’re never going to catch them. What will happen? Are there really monsters coming from the radio or is it just Paddy’s mind playing tricks on him?

      This is an adorable book! The story is humorous and the illustrations are incredible! They remind me of some of Jim Henson’s more innovative and unique creations. They really bring the story alive. I highly recommend this for a light Halloween read.
