From the creator of Goodnight Goon, a laugh-out-loud friendship story that perfectly captures the high and low moments of a typical playdate!

Pete couldn't be more thrilled when a monster shows up in his bedroom. Now Pete has someone to play with! And the hungry monster couldn't be more thrilled to be there, either. Now he can . . . EAT PETE!

But Pete has other ideas. And they are all good fun and quite distracting--things like playing cars and pirates. Well, we all know the course of playing together nicely never did run smoothly. So how much longer will the monster have to wait before he can . . . EAT PETE?

About the author

Michael Rex

MICHAEL REX is the creator of over thirty books for children, including the number one bestseller Goodnight Goon and the Fangbone! series. He also illustrated With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck (by David Friend). He was inspired to create Icky Ricky by his two boys, Declan and Gavin, who are fine young citizens, but very disgusting. Gavin eats ketchup on cake, and Declan uses a marker to color his belly button. Along with the boys, Mr. Rex lives with his wife and their dog, Roxy, in Leonia, New Jersey. Both his wife and the dog are not disgusting at all. Visit him at www.michaelrex.blogspot.com. You won’t get dirty.

Praise for Eat Pete

Praise for GOODNIGHT GOON

"Slightly eerie. . . . A clever offering just right for graduates of bedtimes with Goodnight Moon."--SLJ

"Monstrous twist on a classic bedtime tale. . . . A lot of fun, and it may inspire kids to come up with their own retellings of other familiar classics."--BCCB

"Snort-inducing parody of one of children's literature's most sacred texts. . . . What fun it is."--Kirkus

Praise for WITH ANY LUCK, I'LL DRIVE A TRUCK

"A wrecking ball to delight kids and destroy boredom. Dream big, kids."--Vanity Fair

"A refreshing treat. . . . Rex's brightly colored, slightly rounded vehicles strike a kid-friendly balance between realistic and toy-like."--NYTimes

* "A delightful ode to trucks goes above and beyond the usual churning, wrecking, and pounding. . . . Lucky indeed are the kids who get to indulge in this splendid little wish-fulfillment daydream."--Kirkus STAR

"Cheeky. . . . Full of vehicular action and mechanical details."--PW
