Monster Kitty (2014)
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
Reviews
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
Wonderful monsters. … yet another high quality book sprung out of the creative collaboration of Aslaug Jonsdottir, Kalle Güettler and Rakel Helmsdal.
Morgunbladid, Iceland
A high quality and vivacious children’s book, in multiple layers, that can be read many times over and where there will always be something new to discuss.
