Synopsis

'Twas the night before Christmas and poor Miss Devel
Was hassled and harried and not feeling well...
Off in the distance she heard such a clatter
She sprang from her slab to see what was the matter.
Off down the stairs she flew like a flash,
Threw open the doors just in time for the...
CRASH!"

The little monsters, led once again by Frankenstein, have been busy getting ready for the arrival of Saint Nick, but in this creepy old castle nothing goes quite as expected...

Halloween and Christmas collide in Ludworst Bemonster's unique send-up of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Little monsters everywhere will be screaming with laughter!

About this title

Review:

“This pint-sized Frankenstein's monster, last seen in the Madeline spoof Frankenstein: A Monstrous Parody, returns this time to riff on 'Twas the Night before Christmas.'” ―The Horn Book

“Frankenstein and his little monster friend are taking on Christmas in this follow-up to the Madeline-inspired Frankenstein: A Monstrous Parody . . . illustrations in greens and red are a perfect match for this monstrously fun Christmas offering.” ―School Library Journal

“A comic tale combining elements of the Frankenstein story, 'The Night Before Christmas' and the classic Madeline . . . Frightfully funny.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“The book's wicked sense of humor will have mischievous readers cackling--Hale even manages to use the red-and-green Christmas palette to cadaverous effect.” ―Publishers Weekly
