An Up Close and Personal Visit with the Monsters!

Today we'd like to introduce you to each of Matthew's monsters. These fun-loving creatures are featured on both the block panel and in the soft book panel; we're showing you close-ups of the soft book panel because you'll see these guys in their natural environment and get to know them! 

Block panel:

 Soft book panel:

Book front and back cover:

 The book begins:

Text: Funny things happen inside of machines and this is what many say it really means.

Meet Thorny:

Text: When Thorny gets stuck, all the gears grind to a stop. 

Meet Drippy:

Text: It's just Drippy drooling when pipes go drip, drop.

Meet Fluffy:

Text: All of that lint is just Fluffy's loose hair...

Meet Eggbert:

Text: While Eggbert opens the pipe to get some fresh air.

 Meet Blinky:

Text: When Blinky walks by, a light suddenly blips...

Meet Munchy:

Text: While Munch nibbles on lost nuts and chips.

 Meet Sparky:

Text: Error codes happen as Sparkly flies by.

Meet Squeeky:

Text: Those funny noises just mean Squeeky says hi. 

Text: So all of the odd noises, the errors and dripping...the grinding, the blinking and the pieces that are missing simply means the friendly monsters are inside the machine.
