Description: When Annie unzips her new flowered backpack and finds a monster inside, it's hard to say who is more shocked. Annie soon warms up to the exasperating but lovable creature in this humorous story complemented by energetic illustrations. Full color.

Review Quotes: Spirited and funny...an offbeat alternative to easy readers depicting more orthodox friendships.
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

A funny book with brightly-colored, action-filled illustrations.
