Bookroo's summary

A determined boy stumbles into a house full of quirky monsters, all while searching for his mommy. Despite their frightful appearances, these creatures are no match for his unwavering quest. Each pop-up scene reveals a new, hilarious encounter, as the boy teaches these monsters a lesson in courage and determination. Will he find his mommy amidst the chaos?

From the publisher

Maurice Sendak’s first pop-up book!

They’re all here! Everybody’s favorite monsters are just going about their business when a plucky little boy wanders into their cuckoo house. And what does he want? He wants Mommy!

No matter how scary these monsters are, there’s no besting a little boy who’s looking for his mommy. In one hilarious pop-up extravaganza after another, this kid shows them a thing or two.
