It's years since he last changed his t-shirt
It's crusty and crawling with ants
His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside
And potatoes grow out of his pants
Morris is sweet, charming... and completely disgusting!
Kids will absolutely LOVE him.

Review
"Must be the most revolting picture book of the year! Morris the Mankiest Monster just gets worse and worse as you read aloud the rhyming text, snot, ear wax, pustules...it's really hard to keep going. This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it" (Bookseller 20090717)
"DISGUSTING! I am still feeling faintly queasy after reading this book, but my class, of course, absolutely loved it! . . . The illustrations are wonderfully nauseating" (Child Education Plus 20090901)
"This is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's Pants will doubtless love it" (Junior 20091101)
"This is a great new picture book written by the ever so talented Giles Andreae and illustrated by Sarah McIntyre. It has fantastic rhyming text, and Morris gets more and more gross as the story develops...this is an amazing book for reading it out-loud which will have you little ones in stitches. You will have to read this over and over again, so be prepared!" (Library Mice 20091009)
"More marvellous muckiness" (Helen Brown Telegraph 20091205)

Just read our copy of "Morris the Mankiest Monster" and immediately ordered three more for Christmas gifts. Morbidly delightful. Sarah McIntyre's artwork is stupendously disgusting in all the right ways :) She is one of the best up-and-coming children's artists we've seen. We'll buy more of her books in the future.

I bought this book for my four year old daughter and she loves it. In fact, both my wife and I love it too! It had us all in fits of giggles, pulling faces at Morris' icky antics and going "EWW!!" at all the appropriate parts.
If your children giggle at the parts of stories where the characters pick their noses or fart then buy this book immediately! If you have problems with reading a story to your child which includes the word "Pustule" then go find something else.
Honestly, I loved this book. My wife loved it and most importantly our daughter loved it. I'll probably be taking this along to my local library to recommend that they buy it in too. Simple awesome!! :D

By Mr. Ra Eades
Format:Hardcover
If you like laugh out loud childrens books that appeal to both adults and kids, then this is one to add to your collection. Wonderfully written and illustrated throughout this book had both me and my children, aged 3 and 7 in hysterics and going 'YUCK!' in equal measure. The level of detail in the artwork is amazing and my children loved pointing out all the little creatures who inhabit Morris's world. If you want to please your kids with a book that you and they can reread over and over or if you just like books about monsters who floss their teeth with slugs, then buy this NOW!

Even Fungus the Bogeyman was disgusted!
Vibrant, colourful illustrations, good rhyming text that actually sticks to the meter - a rarity with recent children's books, and it all ends with a hug. Read more
