Bookroo's summary

Pete is ecstatic when a monster appears in his room, ready for fun. But the monster has a different plan: to eat Pete! As they dive into games of cars and pirates, the monster's hunger grows. Can Pete's playful distractions keep him safe, or will the monster's appetite prevail? Discover the ups and downs of this unusual playdate and see if friendship can outlast a monster's cravings.

From the publisher

From the creator of Goodnight Goon, a laugh-out-loud friendship story that perfectly captures the high and low moments of a typical playdate!

Pete couldn’t be more thrilled when a monster shows up in his bedroom. Now Pete has someone to play with! And the hungry monster couldn’t be more thrilled to be there, either. Now he can . . . EAT PETE!

But Pete has other ideas. And they are all good fun and quite distracting–things like playing cars and pirates. Well, we all know the course of playing together nicely never did run smoothly. So how much longer will the monster have to wait before he can . . . EAT PETE?
