Bookroo's summary

A mischievous monster lurks within the pages, devouring words as it awakens. Readers must tread carefully, for the creature's appetite is insatiable. As the story unfolds, the challenge is clear: how to finish the book when the words are disappearing? But who—or what—is this mysterious beast? The answer might just surprise you. Dive into this interactive adventure and discover the adorable truth behind the fearsome facade.

From the publisher

For fans of The Book With No Pictures and The Monster at the End of this Book, this funny and interactive picture book showcases a word-eating monster and the (adorable) surprise behind this frightful creature. Beware: There is a sleeping monster within these pages. But this is no ordinary monster. This monster eats words. And when the monster is awake, it gets HUNGRY. So you have to be very careful and very quiet while reading. If you hear a growl–run fast. Oh no, what’s that? The monster’s woken up! How are we supposed to finish this book when all the words are being eaten? And who–or what–is this fearsome creature exactly? The answer to that question, I’m afraid, is totally . . . adorable.
