The narrator of this book is sure Mrs Muffly has a monster in her house as she is acting very oddly. Wrapped up in the story are the days of week - "On Monday..." etc. Mrs Muffly does strange things every day, buying huge amounts of butter (to soften his feet?) or vast quantities of flour (for the monster to sleep on perhaps?). Of course, in the end the mystery is solved. Highlighting the days of the week does add some early learning to the fun, but this is a very original story on its own merits.

Now that our daughter is getting older and is developing a wide vocabulary she is able to sit and listen to a true "story". We got Mrs Muffly's Monster out from the library and it immediately became one of her favourite bedtime stories.
This delightfully illustrated book tells the story of Mrs Muffly and her strange shopping trips which the narrator is sure must be proof that she is keeping a monster in her house! A charming book that is well worth a read.

Format:Paperback
The eccentric Mrs Muffly lives alone. One day, when she starts to act strangely, the writer assumes that she is hiding a monster in her house. This is the only possible explanation for her bizarre purchases of large amounts of sugar, butter, eggs, flour and jam. At the very end of the book, the reader discovers the monster - and it's not the blue, rather elegant one that the writer has been imagining.
The collage-style and pencil crayon graphics are intriguing, with trees made from textiles and mountains made from map drawings. It is a really imaginative book which can be read alone by Key Stage 1 children. It would also make a perfect bed time book to read to a younger child or any child who loves to use their imagination to find creative answers to intriguing questions.
