Being a monster isn't all frightening villagers and sucking blood. Monsters have their trials, too. Poor Frankenstein's cupboard is bare, Wolfman is in need of some household help, and it's best not to get started on Dracula’s hygiene issues. What could be scarier?
Nineteen hilarious poems delve into the secret lives of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bigfoot, Godzilla, and others. In a range of styles that pay homage to everyone from Charles Schulz to John James Audubon, the monstrously talented Adam Rex uncovers horrific--and clever--truths you won't want to miss.

Starred Review. Grade 2-5–This hilarious collection of illustrated poems describes the lives of well-known monsters. Theres Frankenstein, who tries to borrow food from townsfolk, but is instead pelted with garbage: Its true, at first/he thought the worst:/His neighbors were so rude!/But then he found/that on the ground/theyd made a mound of food. The accompanying illustration shows the pickle-green brute happily eyeing a towering sandwich made from discarded edibles. In several comical appearances, the Phantom of the Opera bemoans the fact that he can no longer compose arias because he cant get catchy tunes out of his head (Its a small world after all./Angry cursing fills the hall./Now hes crawling up the wall./Its a small, small world). He eventually considers an alternate career. The Creature from the Black Lagoon ignores his mothers advice, swims too soon after eating, and sinks; Count Dracula walks around with spinach in his teeth because no one dares tell him about it. Told with smooth, unstrained rhymes, each selection captures its subjects voice. Rex uses an impressive variety of techniques and media in the artwork while paying homage to famed illustrators. From shiny black-and-white graphics in Zombie Zombie, to a Richard Scarry-esque interpretation of the Yeti, to pen-and-ink sketches of Dr. Jekyll, each creature claims its own style. The book is fresh, creative, and funny, with just enough gory detail to cause a few gasps. Kids will eat it up.–Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI

It's pronounced Fraaank-unt-steen
By E. R. Bird
Okay. So here was my dilemma. I was supposed to review a children's book of poetry and I had several choices in front of me. I could review the inner city take on "Casey At the Bat". I could do the meaningful one about a Caribbean country. I could do the one about various epitaphs to people of different professions (I am not making this up). Or I could do the goofy monster one. And the ball fell in the goofy monster's court by a loooong shot. You hold "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich" in your hands, and you may not be sure whether or not to trust it. Should I give this to a child? Will they actually enjoy it? Then you read the tiny byline under the title. "And other stories you're sure to like, because they're all about monsters, and some of them are also about food. You like food, don't you? Well, all right then". Any picture book of poetry that says, "Well, all right then", on its cover has won my irony-laden little heart. It's just a nice plus that the poems inside just happen to be funny, beautifully illustrated, and interesting in all sorts of different ways.
Monsters. It's hard not to love `em. Especially classic movie monsters. Now what we have here are all the monsters you could think of put in a variety of humorous and peculiar situations. There's "Count Dracula: Doesn't Know He's Been Walking Around All Night With Spinach In His Teeth". Or howzabout, "The Mummy: Won't Go To His Eternal Rest Without a Story and Some Cookies"? They're all here, illustrated in a vast variety of ways by the ultra-talented Adam Rex. Each poem is a scintillating series of new ideas involving all sorts of critters. Hidden in the pictures as well are limericks from the fictional, "Michelle & VonFuzz Limerical Guide To Monsters". Kids will lap up the goofy pictures and creatures. Adults will find much to love in the overall humor. Altogether, this book's a trip.
Of course, this is not the only children's picture book to recently bring up some classic monsters from the past. "Mommy?", by Maurice Sendak is also a wonderful monsterish tribute to the likes of The Mummy, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, etc. What is to account for this ghoulish trend in children's picture book literature? Haven't a clue. Maybe publishers have eschewed such ideas in the past and are only right now ready for them. That's my theory, anyway.
So will children like this book? I mean, it does do some pretty amusing grown-up jokes that'll soar right over the l'il kiddies' heads. Heck, even the Dedications in this book are funny. They're listed as "Dedications And/Or Weaknesses" and include things like, "For Scott - Light Beer". And then there was the laugh-out-loud poem (part of a running gag), "Now the Phantom of the Opera Can't Get `The Girl From Ipanema' Out of His Head w/a Peppercorn Coulis". But in spite of all of these, you can't get past the fact that the book is really funny AND fun to read. The pictures will suck children in immediately, and the fact that there are elements like the comic strip "Zombie Zombie" feature (which gives us the immortal image of a Zombie Samba) is enough to convince me that children everywhere will love it. Perhaps less so the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Henderson's Five Alarm Chili", but I've been known to be wrong. Also, some points will have to be detracted from Mr. Rex's score for a tiny mention of Britney Spears. Naughty, Mr. Rex. Naughty. There is no room in this book for that particular monster.
The sheer variety in illustration styles is what really impressed me, though. If you've ever seen an Adam Rex work, be it "The Dirty Cowboy" or "Tree-Ring Circus", then you know how good the guy is. What you may not have been aware of, however, was the massive range the fellow has. Somehow or other, this book has uncorked all of Mr. Rex's hitherto bottled up expressiveness, and the result is everything from realistic oil paintings, pages that could have come from guide books, images that glow with that old-timey silver screen feel, a comic strip, some computer graphic work, and a selection that looks as if it was engraved and created in the late 19th century. THAT is what you will find here.
Finally we come to the obligatory poop joke. Apparently a law was passed about ten years ago that states that no children's movie can have a trailer that does not involve either pooping or farting in some manner. This sometimes carries over to children's picture books (how else to explain the success of "Walter the Farting Dog"?). Actually, this book is fairly poop-free, until the veeeery last poem. Ah, "Godzilla Pooped On My Honda". But, y'know, I can almost forgive it for the picture that accompanies it. It's on the last page and there we see a Japanese woman staring at... well, you know. In the background are Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah (your guess is as good as mine), etc. My real objection? Where the heck is Gamera? Like you can do a Japanese monster tribute without that greatest of gigantic turtles. I mean, really.
My knowledge of monster-related poetry books is not what it could be. Still, if you're looking for a title to pair this book with, might I suggest the aforementioned, "Mommy?" or, even better, Judy Sierra's apropos, "Monster Goose". If your little brain is all ah-twitter this Halloween season and you want to buy something for the kiddies that will amuse their parents and children alike, you can't go wrong with "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich". Just don't start flipping through it if you're under a time constraint. You'll never put it down.

Monsterrific!
By Liz
I simply MUST put in a plug for this fabulous book! As a mom and an illustrator, I was drawn to the amazing art, and I thought perhaps the kids would like it, too. Oh, MAN! It delivered on all points: Amazing art, perfect rhyme (SO hard to find rhyme that really works in a book; it's spot on), and YES- the kids love it and keep going back to read it over and over. I think they do view it as a bit of a fun challenge- there are lots of details and subtleties in the art and text. And I did have to sing "The Girl from Ipanema" to them, because they've never heard it. Overall-YES! Make more books like this, Adam Rex!

Fun, smart poems about monsters!
By Andy J. Smith
Fun, smart poems about monsters for Halloween or anytime! Whether you are an adult or a child, a poetry lover, or just a monster lover you will love this book! Adam Rex's mastery with word and picture are as evident as his love of 50's horror movies! There are many individual poems but the book is well balanced as a whole with several reoccuring characters and similarly themed poems. A fun way to introduce reading to a child, and not at all scary (for better or for worse!)
