EAT PETE!
From the creator of Goodnight Goon, a laugh-out-loud friendship story that perfectly captures the high and low moments of a typical playdate.
Pete couldn't be more thrilled when a monster shows up in his bedroom. Now Pete has someone to play with! And the hungry monster couldn't be more thrilled to be there, either. Now he can . . . EAT PETE!
But Pete has other ideas. And they are all good fun and quite distracting--things like playing cars and pirates. Well, we all know the course of playing together nicely never did run smoothly. So how much longer will the monster have to wait before he can . . . EAT PETE?
Selling points:

PERFECTLY CAPTURES THE UPS AND DOWNS OF PLAYING TOGETHER: Playing together nicely has its own rhythms and this hilariously and exaggeratedly captures the vicissitudes of toddler play dates.
CHARMINGLY FUNNY ILLUSTRATIONS: The giant monster and small boy make quite a pair, especially when the monster sports Pete's way-too-small-for-a-monster pirate eye patch.
GREAT READALOUD: Kids will love chiming along with the repeated phrase "EAT PETE!"
TWIST ENDING DOESN'T DISAPPOINT: After enjoying being one step ahead of Pete for most of the story, readers won't expect the most logical outcome to actually happen--and then they'll be surprised again by the quick turnaround.
