The story begins with Grouch, Grump, and little Gloom 'n' Doom who think they are monsters. After arguing which one of them is the biggest, baddest monster, they decide to settle it by making a MONSTER monster who will be the biggest, baddest monster ever. Reminiscent of Frankenstein, their new giant monster is anything but the baddest monster ever. He's thankful to be alive and shows the other three immense gratitude and that it's okay to not always act as the biggest, baddest monster. A charmer and great read aloud. I loved this book both for the illustrations, which were supposed to be scary but never quite managed, and for the message of the story. I think it actually has more than one message, but for me it was not judging people for how they look. This is a real 'frankensteinian' monster, awakened by electricity, but this creature is polite and kind.Patrick McDonnell created something wonderful, and the book can be read over and over and over ....
