The stories tell of two close, but very different friends: the Big Monster and the Little Monster. Through simple stories about their doings – climbing a mountain, visiting a sick friend, going fishing – the series focuses on human relations and situations which all children face at some time. The simple narrations and powerful illustrations of the series open up a wonderful world of stories for children and parents alike. • Nominated to the IBBY Honour List 2016
“What is so fascinating about the monster-books is that they can portray ugly and difficult feelings with warmth and humor. Nothing is simplified and there are no fingers pointed. … it is gratifying to learn that Monster Kitty is of the same quality as the previous books.” BTJ, Sweden
★★★★★ (five stars out of five possible) “Wonderful monsters. … yet another high quality book sprung out of the creative collaboration of Aslaug Jonsdottir, Kalle Güettler and Rakel Helmsdal.” Morgunbladid, Iceland
