Booklist - 08/01/2018 Where the Wild Things Are meets Pierre, with maybe a side helping of Monster in My Closet. The hairy, horned hulk that crawls in through Pete's window has just one idea in its head (see title). But, as young Pete has lots of toys, the notion gets repeatedly, though temporarily, shelved for exciting car races and pirate sword fights. Rex depicts this playdate in a set of neatly drawn scenes featuring a diminutive, Oshkosh-clad urchin who seems oblivious to his danger and a popeyed, peg-toothed, much larger playmate, both sporting (often, but not always, for the same reason) great big grins. Unfortunately, ideas can be stubborn things, and eventually down the hatch goes Pete. Fortunately for the family-friendly rating of this outing, he doesn’t stay there; the monster soon discovers how lonely it is to play alone and spits the unchewed, if slobber covered, lad out. Young audiences will be gleefully swept in by the rising suspense, and many may find the cozy resolution more digestible than leaving Pete to a darker fate. - Copyright 2018 Booklist.
