A monkey tells a story every Halloween to other animals about humans, starting off with kids around a camp fire coming up with a Halloween threat that they will pull down the underpants of those who answer the door if they don't give them something good to eat. Obviously these kids can look forward to a lot of their lives spent behind bars. Meanwhile actual monsters living in the forest look forward to scaring kids, by taunting them with their own rhyme threats, except one blue monster.The ending was pretty anticlimactic and needed explaining more.  We never saw the blue monster again, who I was expecting to probably save the day after he disagreed with scaring people.  The book has great colourful imagery but time hasn't been taken to format this book properly so when you've got some landscape laid out pictures that only take up the top part of the screen when reading in portrait mode.  If you attempt to read the book in landscape mode, it's a mess.  Lines of text appear on some pages and the picture in the middle columns of others.  I don't get it.  Why take the time to write a story, create some brilliant illustrations, but not bother to spend an hour or so formatting the book properly.  If this is free I recommend giving it a go, but in it's current poorly formatted condition you certainly wouldn't pay money for it.
