A hilarious day in the life of two EMS workers who drive an "amboolance," rushing to the aid of injured monsters.

A hilarious day in the life of two EMS workers who drive an "amboolance," rushing to the aid of injured monsters.

Meet Sally and Gus--the crackerjack emergency medical services team who come to help when someone is sick or injured. But the someones in their world are a little unearthly--which means they're on the Emergency Monster Squad! Ride along with these everyday heroes as they drive their amboolance to answer the calls of a zombie with chest pains, a fractured skeleton, and a very pregnant kraken mama. It's a hair-raising job, but someone's gotta do it--and you never know what will happen when they crank up their siren and flash those lights!

Praise for Emergency Monster Squad

Praise for The Ugly Pumpkin
     "Inventive, amusing, and surprising. . . . Riotously colorful illustrations. . . . The bright colors, bouncy rhymes, and engaging pumpkin combine to make this a charming book."--SLJ
     "Expressive hand-lettered pages convey strong emotions."--PW
     "Plenty of visual flash."--Kirkus
     "Children familiar with the story of the Ugly Duckling will recognize the parody here. Horowitz creates the mood with a wide range of expressions."--Children's Literature

Praise for Five Little Gefiltes
     "Think of this as pretty tasty schmear."--PW
     "Silly, but all in good fun."--SLJ
     "The illustrations are full of humor. . . . Nostalgic looks back at the lively culture of immigrant Jews are worthy of applause."--Kirkus
     "Jolly nonsense. . . . Very simple city settings include background silhouettes of buildings and, frequently, storefronts with funny signs. Speech balloons give a few characters a chance to express feelings such as 'What a shnook' or 'Such chutzpah.' . . . As the guys note on the jacket, 'Such a nice book.'"--Children's Literature

Praise for Never Satisfied: The Story of the Stonecutter
     "Horowitz's cut-paper art has a broad, sculptural quality . . . the pictures have a visual immediacy and narrative velocity. The pages breeze by until Stanley's final transformation, which conveys a zenlike message about finding peace in one's lot in life."--PW

Praise for Twenty-six Pirates
     * "These 26 cleverly illustrated and unexpected rhyming name choices are bound to tickle readers' timbers. . . . The illustrations . . . have a collage effect with comic exaggeration. . . . Aye mateys, heave-ho with this bounty of pirate silliness."--Kirkus STAR
