Not Very Scary

Children's author Carol Brendler and illustrator Greg Pizzoli's Not Very Scary follows a young monster as she makes her way to her friend's house for a Halloween party, despite the not very…slightly…okay, pretty scary creatures dogging her along the way.

Melly is a brave little monster who is not afraid of anything. She loves surprises, and when her fun-loving cousin invites her over for a big surprise, Melly excitedly sets out for a visit. On her way, she notices skittish skeletons, a coal-black cat, and even ghoulish goblins following her. But Melly is not scared, no she's not! Well, maybe just a teensy bit . . .
