Description
Featuring large type and illustrations on every page, this is the perfect bridge book for kids ages 5-9 who have graduated from leveled readers and are ready for young chapter books.
A hungry sponge creature has found its way into Baffling Elementary through a portal in the girls' bathroom--and it's on the loose in the school! Best friends Mia, Noah, and Lucas discover a large puddle and footprints in the hallway, as well as pieces of what looks to be sponge. They follow the trail and discover a sponge monster munching on books in the library. Can they capture the creature and flush it away before the rest of the school finds out? With neon Pantone on the cover and a single Pantone color accents throughout. Filled with humor, easy-to-read language in large type, and illustrations on every page, the Monster Files books are perfect for kids who are ready for beginning readers.
Advance Praise
" Grayscale illustrations with electric blue accents inject the protagonists' amiable, low-conflict adventure with visual humor, while bouncy text emphasizes observation, persistence, and teamwork. It's delightfully absurd. " - Publishers Weekly (10/19/26)
