"Me . . . Jane"으로 Caldecott상을 받은 베스트셀러 그림책 작가 패트릭 맥도넬의 작품입니다.

산꼭대기 괴물의 성에 살고 있는 3명의 꼬마괴물들은 날마다 누가 가장 나쁜 괴물인지를 놓고 소리지르고 싸웠습니다. 자신이 가장 무섭고 힘세고 나쁜 괴물이라고 우기던 3명의 꼬마 괴물들은 결국 결론을 내지 못하고 셋이서 힘을 합쳐 가장 나쁜 괴물을 만들기고 하지요. 그들이 만든 덩치 큰 괴물은 프랑켄슈타인같이 무시무시한 모습을 하고 있어서 3명의 꼬마 괴물들은 크게 만족하고 새로 만든 괴물이 나쁜 짓을 벌이기를 기대했습니다만... 괴물이 생명을 얻은 후 처음 한 말이 "고마워"였습니다. 뭔가 일이 틀어진 것을 느낀 꼬마 괴물들은 새 괴물이 마을의 빵집으로 내려가자 드디어 괴물 본래의 나쁜 짓을 할 것으로 기대했습니다만...

Book Description
Once upon a time, there were three little rascals who thought they were the BIGGEST, BADDEST monsters around. Then along came an even BIGGER monster who changed their minds. And all it took was two little words.
In this playful tale from bestselling picture book author Patrick McDonnell, a very BIG monster shows three very BAD little monsters the power of boundless gratitude.


School Library Journal
Three little monsters love to CRASH!, BASH!, and SMASH! Every day they argue over who is the best monster, until they join forces to "make a MONSTER monster. The biggest, baddest monster EVER!" At first, their efforts look successful, but to their horror, the creature's first words after tearing off his bandages are "Dank you." The enormous Frankenstein look-alike contents himself with breathing fresh air and gently greeting the spiders, bats, and rats in the castle. But just as the little monsters begin to despair, Monster lets out a ROAR and smashes through the dungeon wall, heading toward the "monster-fearing village" below. Is he finally off to make mayhem? Or will his exploits end in a lesson for the little monsters about gratitude and sharing? McDonnell's monsters are comic and endearing, and the book's colors gently shift from dark and gloomy to warm as the story progresses. The message is well executed, and the little beasts' exuberance at their badness keeps the tale from devolving into platitudes. This delightful title will provide a new option for "not so scary" monster storytimes.


Booklist
McDonnell moves from cozy biography (Booklist Top of the List winner Me . . . Jane, 2011) to, naturally, marauding monsters. Grouch (the horned one), Grump (the furry one), and Gloom ’n’ Doom (the two-headed one) are certain that they’re awesome monsters: “They lived in a dark monster castle, high atop a dark monster mountain overlooking a monster-fearing village.” Their monstrous proclivities will be familiar to young readers: they complain, throw tantrums, and fight-but it’s just not enough! So they build a Frankenstein monster to “make mayhem in the village.” Problem! Monster no like mayhem. Monster like petting spiders and eating jelly donuts and relaxing on beach. Baffled by Monster’s behavior, the three friends have no choice but to give his easygoing manner a try. McDonnell arranges the tale so that it blooms like a dawning day, beginning in muddy grays and browns before lightening to blue and yellow as the morning-and the characters-brighten. The friends are appropriately tiny, the monster appropriately big, and the message appropriately sweet. Relax, little monsters, and enjoy the day.
