Description
Itty Bitty Betty Blob wants to growl for the camera on monster picture day, but every year it goes wrong. Will practice make perfect? Or can Betty find a way to be her own blobby little smiling self?
A tender, funny picture book with massive monster appeal--perfect for fans of Sweety by Andrea Zuill and classics, such as Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon and Chrysanthemum.
Picture day at monster school is not Itty Bitty Betty Blob's favorite. Betty is not your typical monster and would rather dance or look at rainbows than look ferocious. But when her mom hands her a perfectly horrible dress to wear on picture day, she practices her growly monster faces. She heads off to school with high hopes of being a good monster. . . and that's when she makes a discovery and soon finds herself among new friends with ideas that just feel right.
