Book description
It's years since he last changed his t-shirt. It's crusty and crawling with ants. His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside. And potatoes grow out of his pants. Morris is sweet, charming...and completely disgusting. Kids will absolutely LOVE him.
Why read it?
1 author picked Morris the Mankiest Monster as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Morris is really the most disgusting monster ever, and this book will make every child (and parent!) go “Ewwww!”
It’s hilariously funny, and despite all of Morris’s horrible bad habits, and reading about what he likes to do - you’ll find that you (almost!) fall in love with him! The illustrations are great and it’s enjoyable looking for the gross and manky details with your child, and pointing them out together. Revolting fun!
From Claire's list on laugh out loud pictures for 3-5 yr olds.
