Bookroo's summary
Angus, a young monster living beneath Loch Ness, struggles with his ever-growing mess. As peanut shells and dirty laundry pile up, his untidy habits push him away from home. But when his trash heap becomes too much, Angus stumbles upon a surprising discovery on the lake's surface. Will this unexpected encounter teach him the importance of cleanliness? Dive into a hilarious tale where chaos meets a legendary sighting, and find out if Angus can tidy up his act before it's too late.
From the publisher
Ever since Angus was a wee baby monster, living below the surface of Loch Ness, his parents tried to teach him to be a proper monster. But as Angus grows bigger, he gets sloppy. Puggy-nit shells (peanuts) are piling up; his grottie (dirty) laundry is in a heap; tatties (potatoes) litter the floor. It’s a mountain of a mess! And as Angus’s trash heap grows, pushing him away from the comforts of home, a surprising Loch Ness sighting of his own awaits on the surface of the lake…. Fans of Hooway for Wodney Wat and Tacky the Penguin will laugh-out-loud, as the hilarious team of Lester and Munsinger share a rollicking reminder of the virtues of a clean room!
