Bookroo's summary

At Monster School, the death bell signals the start of a unique class where goblins wail and zombies drool. This whimsical collection of poems introduces a lively group of monster kindergartners, each with their own quirks. From shy to proud, these creatures mirror the kids you know, but with a monstrous twist. What adventures await in this peculiar classroom?

From the publisher

Twilight’s here. The death bell rings. Everyone knows what the death bell brings—it’s time for class! You’re in the place where goblins wail and zombies drool. (That’s because they’re kindergartners.) Welcome to Monster School. In this entertaining collection of poems, award-winning poet Kate Coombs and debut artist Lee Gatlin bring to vivid life a wide and playful cast of characters (outgoing, shy, friendly, funny, prickly, proud) that may seem surprisingly like the kids you know . . . even if these kids are technically monsters.
