The shape of it

The shape of this universe.

Rong Rong's Jolly Monster Town is a full-colour illustrated chapter-book world where the monsters are far more adorable than alarming. Twiggy the Log Monster, Ralph the Pufferfish Monster, Uno the Cyclops Cat and a wacky cast of friends muddle through sleepovers, treasure hunts and everyday mishaps in a bright, cosy town. Pitched as Coco Wyo meets Jamie Smart, each book is short, snappy and packed with vibrant artwork, wrapping gentle lessons about friendship, pitching in and thinking of others around plenty of comedy. It is an ideal step up for younger readers moving into chapter books, warm and funny enough to reread and easy enough to finish in a sitting.
