Summary:"Good morning, Monster! It's eight o'clock! Time to walk to school! / “No, Bird. I WILL NOT WALK TO SCHOOL TODAY. ” So begins this uproariously funny and relatable tale of a reluctant monster and his almost always-patient bird buddy ... It's not that Monster doesn't like school -- he loves school! He just hates the commute. Even on Pancake Breakfast Day. Though, maybe if those pancakes had pepperoni, pineapple and double cheese ... with maple syrup on the side ... Nope. Monster will simply NOT, under any circumstances, be walking to school today. So HOW are they supposed to get there? With an absurdity and nuttiness reminiscent of Mo Willems, and told entirely in speech balloons, Monster and Bird's story will have readers in stitches -- we've all had one of THOSE days, whether a kid or an adult!"--
