The Mysterious Monster March: The Adventure Continues
a picture book that I am currently working on. :-)

"Dawn breaks and excitement grows.
Everyone is eager to continue on their adventure.
A tasty breakfast of sweet, sticky Hickleberries
makes them all feel very brave.

The joyful monsters jump in with wild howls of glee!
Meenu cautiously steps onto a leaf to float across.
He has never been in water before."
