Monster Night at Grandma's House

By Richard Peck and Diane Freeman

Book Overview

Two world-renowned children's book creators, Richard Peck and Don Freeman, collaborated on this picture book-the evocative tale of a boy who takes on the monster lurking in his grandma's home. This was one of Don Freeman's last books-after Corduroy , after Dandelion , after he'd won a Caldecott Honour for Fly High Fly Low . It is novelist Richard Peck's only picture book. He wrote Monster Night about twenty-five years before he won a Newbery Honour for A Long Way from Chicago , before he won the Newbery Medal for A Year Down Yonder . Now their beguiling collaboration is once again available, and includes a new introduction, full of warmth and reminiscence, by Richard Peck. It's a classic treat-a deliciously spooky journey through darkness into the comforting, clear light of day.
