Description

Gilbert accidentally brings home a slobbery, bite-sized monster in the hilarious latest installment in The Worst! picture book series, where even the strangest of creatures can become the best of friends.

When plucky Gilbert the Goblin and his pal Chicken go camping together, they run into creatures that go bump in the night! The friends immediately flee the woods and head home--after all, everyone knows that monsters are absolutely, undeniably, unequivocally the worst!

But when a shocking stowaway appears in Gilbert's knapsack, looking awfully cute and extra snuggly, Gilbert is...smitten! Sure, monsters can bite and drool and make a big mess, but they can also steal your heart. It's a tale so sweet it's scary!

About the Author

If it was Alex Willan, and not Gilbert the Goblin, who was in charge of writing the stories, he'd make a book called Anchovies are the Worst!. Alex is the author-illustrator of the Worst! picture book series and the Jasper & Ollie series, as well as the illustrator of Got Your Nose, written by Alan Katz. Alex lives in Chicago with his dog, Harley, who is the absolute best. Visit him online at AlexWillan.com.
