Worst in Show

Fancy a pet? How about a monster? Albert has a pet monster, Sidney, and he’s wild about him. He’s great! So Albert’s entering Sidney in the Best Pet Monster show. (Why should pet shows be all about dogs and cats, after all?) But Sidney is a rather gentle monster. He likes long soaks in bubble baths while nibbling on some sugary fairy cakes. Lovely! Trouble is: champion monsters have to roar, breathe fire, smell awful and have hideous warts. Sidney has no chance – does he? Find out in this funny story, which celebrates every kind of monster: warts (or no warts) and all!
