Synopsis: After wreaking havoc on the planets of its own galaxy, a hungry monster sets off in its spaceship for a pretty blue planet called earth. A little boy called Tommy Brown, who is particularly scared of monsters, is singled out for a visit . . .

Review: Yes! It’s so wonderful to see a child “get the joke” and that’s precisely what happens at the end of this story. The suspense builds easily page-after-page in this well-illustrated drama, and the last page, which is text-free, guarantees a thought-filled pause and a clever grin. An instant favourite that is very well done.
