Bookroo's summary

At a bustling county fair, a little girl embarks on a whimsical quest to find her elusive monster friend. As she explores vibrant attractions like the fun house and Ferris wheel, she discovers a world of hidden shapes—trapezoids, ellipses, and more. Is the monster judging pies or at the monster-truck rally? With each step, the fair reveals its secrets, blending learning with adventure. Dive into a visual feast where every page holds a new surprise, and uncover the mystery of the missing monster amidst a kaleidoscope of shapes.

From the publisher

In a follow-up to Steve Light’s highly praised Have You Seen My Dragon?, the county fair is filled with shapes–and somewhere among them a monster is waiting to be found. A little girl gallivants through a county fair, searching for her furry friend. Readers will surely spot the friendly monster as well as twenty shapes, identified here by their proper names–trapezoids, ellipses, kites, and more–hidden among iconic fair attractions from the fun house to the Ferris wheel. Maybe the monster is judging the pies? Or perhaps he’s at the monster-truck rally? Youngsters will be so mesmerized by Steve Light’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations, decorated with vivid splashes of color, they won’t even realize they’ve learned how to spot a nonagon while looking for a monster.
