This book has been a favorite in our family for the last five years at least. It is the perfect book to lend itself to voices and acting out the parts. I happen to think that it could be a great book for a kid who's a little afraid of monsters. It has wonderfully textural pictures. I really love how each picture looks like a collage. It's also just long enough to keep everyone's attention and keep whoever might be doing voices (usually me, very loudly) from getting a sore throat.

This is the basic story, but it is so very much better than what I've put here. It really is a must read!---

Stella and her mother go to rent a video from the video store because there's nothing on tv and her mother stumbles into a dark corner of the store where a monster hides, waiting to eat customers who just don't pay attention. Stella, instead of shrieking in terror gets angry, very, VERY angry and transforms into FRANKENSTELLA! Frankenstella chases the monster to the sea where she catches him and forces him to spit her mother out.
