ISBN: 0670241334 ISBN-13: 9780670241330 Publisher: Viking Books for Young Readers OUR PRICE: $16.19 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: March 1968 Annotation: Two world-renowned children's book creators, Richard Peck and Don Freeman, collaborated on this picture book--the evocative tale of a boy who takes on the monster lurking in his grandma's home. This was one of Don Freeman's last books--after Corduroy, after Dandelion, after he'd won a Caldecott Honor for Fly High Fly Low. It is novelist Richard Peck's only picture book. He wrote Monster Night about twenty-five years before he won a Newbery Honor for A Long Way from Chicago, before he won the Newbery Medal for A Year Down Yonder. Now their beguiling collaboration is once again available, and includes a new introduction, full of warmth and reminiscence, by Richard Peck. It's a classic treat--a deliciously spooky journey through darkness into the comforting, clear light of day. |
