[ 책 소개 ]

러브 몬스터는 빨간 털로 뒤덮여 있고, 두눈은 커다랗고 동그라며, 머리에는 조그만 뿔이 두개 달려 있는 모습입니다. 귀엽고 털이 복실복실한 고양이, 강아지, 토끼같은 것들을 좋아하는 사람들 눈에 러브 몬스터는 사랑스럽게 보일 리가 없었지요. 아무도 자신을 좋아해주지 않자, 러브 몬스터는 자기를 사랑해줄 누군가를 찾기 위해 여행을 떠납니다.

높은 곳에서도 찾아보고, 낮은 곳에서도 찾아보고, 중간 높이에서도 찾아보고,
현관문 안쪽도 들여다보고, 바깥쪽도 내다보고,
방방곡곡 구석구석을 모두 찾아봤지만 아무도 러브 몬스터를 사랑해주지 않습니다.

낙담한 러브 몬스터는 결국 모든 것을 포기하고 집으로 돌아가기 위해서 버스를 기다리고 있는데,
버스 문이 열리면서 그토록 찾아헤매던 짝꿍을 만나게 되네요...

Book Description
Love Monster is a slightly hairy monster trying to fit in with the cuddly residents of Cutesville. But as it turns out, it's hard to fit in with the cute and the fluffy when you're a googly-eyed monster. And so, Love Monster sets out to find someone who will love him just the way he is. His journey is not easy―he looks high, low, and even middle-ish. But as he soon finds out, in the blink of a googly eye, love can find you when you least expect it.


Booklist
’Tis the season for all things monstrous - but not in Cutesville, “Home of the Fluffy.” Bright’s hairy, snaggle-toothed monster feels out of place amid the town’s cutesy critters, so he packs his binoculars and guidebooks (The Rough Guide to the Big Wide World and Making Friends for Dummies, among others) and hits the road. Like the main characters in Mo Willems’ Leonardo, the Terrible Monster (2005) and Tammi Sauer’s Mostly Monsterly (2010), Monster’s appearance doesn’t match his sensitive disposition, and he yearns for someone to love him “just the way he is.” Bright’s rough-textured print technique - think degraded photocopy - suits our scruffy little hero to a T, while the bright, saturated color palette of reds and purples against pale and pretty backgrounds reflects his optimistic nature. The ending is disappointingly run-of-the-mill - after searching high and low, Monster’s soul mate turns out to be a bus-driving girl monster who looks exactly like him - but the friendly, clever text and winsome illustrations make this book a decent seasonal addition to the bedtime stack.


The Wall Street Journal
“You might have noticed that everyone loves kittens, and puppies and bunnies. You know, cute, fluffy things," remarks the chatty narrator of "Love Monster" (FSG, 32 pages, $16.99), a winning picture book by Rachel Bright. The world's affection for cuteness makes it tough for the funny-looking, "slightly hairy" title character who yearns for love and acceptance. Ms. Bright uses a style of printmaking that yields coarse black lines, which she has filled in with color to evoke the Love Monster's feelings of both despondency and hope as he searches the (frustratingly cute) world for a kindred spirit. With the Monster, as with many a lonely soul, love arrives when he least expects it in this ultimately happy excursion for 2- to 5-year-olds.”


Publishers Weekly
“Bright has a brisk but sympathetic voice that's appealingly British, and her visual pacing is impeccable. Like the monster itself, this story wears its heart very visibly.”
