The Monster Who Lost His Mean -- Tiffany Strelitz Haber, Hardcover

Everyone knows that the M in monster stands for MEAN. But what happens when a monster can't be mean any more? Is he still a monster at all?

One young monster's attempts to live up to his name go hilariously awry as he discovers--with a little help from new friends--that it's not what you're called but who you are that counts.
