Stay out of this book or I WILL CHOMP YOU  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So says the not-so-fierce inhabitant of \u003ci\u003eI Will Chomp You \u003c\/i\u003e, a tale of deception, greed . . . and cake  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In their funny read-aloud, Jory John and Bob Shea bring a fresh twist to a time-tested blueprint as their little monster threatens, reasons, and pleads with readers to go no further in the book because he will NOT share his beautiful, delicious cakes. Children will identify with the monster's high valuation of his possessions, and (importantly) will laugh at the silly measures he takes to protect them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA monster's reign of terror begins even before the title page: \"HEY. GO AWAY.\" Turn to the title page and there the monster waits, blue-skinned and angry-eyed: \"I WILL CHOMP YOU \" As the reader turns the pages, the monster's direct-address threats increase: \"If you turn any more pages...I WILL CHOMP YOU, BUSTER \" Another page turn and the monster is even angrier: \"NOW QUIT IT \" Until finally, \"HEY  I'm warning you  You've been officially WARNED  CHOMP \" Unfortunately for the monster, the reader is just too fast, and its chomp misses the mark. The monster proceeds to bite, yell, and barrel its way through the pages, repeatedly trying to halt-by-chomping the reader from reaching its secret hidden in the back pages of the book (\u003ci\u003epsst\u003c\/i\u003e, it's cake). This book, written entirely as monster monologue, is all bright colors and sharp edges, creating a feeling of temper-tantrum immediacy that matches the silly-angry words. Shea's illustrations are bold but not too busy, giving the impression of fast movement and strong emotions, and the striped shirt-wearing monster is lovable in an ankle-biting kind of way. The fast pace, funny faces, and silly secret make this a great read-aloud. -- Si n Gaetano \u003ci\u003eTHE HORN BOOK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385389860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jory John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38025219440821,"sku":"9780385389860","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0845d42d-7496-4910-bfc9-9b1a23f62c35.jpg?v=1609187617","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/i-will-chomp-you-9780385389860","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
