Sesame Street’s Grover is having a rough day. His trouble? Readers keep turning the pages of his book — and there is a monster at the end of the book!

This silly and surprisingly insightful picture book will delight both kids and adults. It deals sweetly with questions of shadow, projection, and the lengths a poor muppet will go to, to avoid facing his fears.

Suitable for young readers ages 1 to 4.
