Morris the Mankiest Monster'must be the most revolting picture book of the year . . . children will absolutely love it.' Bookseller

Giles Andreae and Sarah McIntyre would like you to meet Morris, the world's stinkiest picture book hero...

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

More marvellous muckiness -- Helen Brown * Daily Telegraph *
Treading the tightrope between revolting and sweet is hard but Morris does it. What a gem! * Books for Keeps *
This is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's Pants will doubtless love it * Junior *
Must be the most revolting picture book of the year! . . . This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it * The Bookseller *
Adults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it * Nursery World *
There is something about snot which intrigues at this age and Morris the Mankiest Monster provides plenty of toenails, pustules and other delights from a disgusting but friendly monster -- Alison Walsh * Irish Independent on Sunday *
Children will absolutely love it - I will leave adults to make up their own minds . . . The illustrations are wonderful - full of grisly details that children will adore, and they will delight in reading the story to you. Great fun! * Parents In Touch *
Any book that has an embossed green bogey on the cover has already got my vote. This frankly vile book is a complete and utter joy from beginning to end . . . A revoltingly good treat for young children -- Stacia Briggs * Norwich Telegraph *
Sarah McIntyre certainly does not hold back with her illustrations of Giles Andreae's hilarious rhyming words . . . Sarah's illustrations are all beautifully drawn, with an incredible attention to detail that will have children poring lovingly over the pages * Book Zone For Boys *
Comes across as an infant Fungus the Bogeyman in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well * The School Librarian *
