Believe It or Not, My Brother Has a Monster! - Tapa dura

From one scary monster to ten disgusting slugs and everything in between, this spooky rhyming story is chock-full of creepy crawlies...and one nervous little brother!
He led it home and snuck it in,

which gave me goose bumps on my skin

to see a monster standing there.

Those giant claws! That shaggy hair!
