The Only Monster cover

A wildly funny and heart-warming picture book celebrating only children and the many shapes a family can take, The Only Monster is packed full of big laughs, and even bigger love.

It’s PHOTO DAY at monster school, and everyone’s getting ready - messy hair, snotty noses, the perfect monstrous look. But as the monster brothers and sisters line up for their pictures, one little monster realises… she’s the only one without a sibling.

Luckily, Daddy Monster knows just what to say. Because families come in all shapes and sizes, and when you measure them in love, hers might just be the biggest of them all - bigger than the earth, the moon, and the stars above!

From Matt Coyne, bestselling author and creator of Man vs Baby, comes a warm and wonderful story about what makes a family. And with Brendan Kearney’s vibrant, detail-packed monster world, this is a book kids will want to dive into again and again.

“Sheffield’s Coyne transports readers aged four-plus to the monster town of Bonglibod where a little monster notices that the other monster kids have brothers and sisters…but not her. She is an only monster.”
