A visually gorgeous, funny adventure from the acclaimed creator of Animalia.

When our hero uses his Amazing Monster DetectoScope he finds that the house is infested with monsters!

Can he find the courage to face his fears?

From sneaky creatures beneath the sofa to sneaky fiends in the cupboards, join a brave dog and unveil a multitude of mysterious monsters hiding beneath the mundane. Dive into this richly detailed narrative, told in delightful rhyme, and discover the magic hiding in the everyday.

This interactive book is a whimsical take on facing childhood fears and features intricate paper engineering that allows readers to 'see' through the DetectoScope viewfinder, revealing a whole host of hilariously hideous beasties lying in wait.

Perfect for brave explorers ready for a delightful challenge!
