Tiny Monsters

Every year, Halloween is supposed to bring scares and screams as children everywhere don costumes and go door-to-door requesting treats. But instead of spreading fright, most of the little witches and werewolves bring smiles and half-suppressed laughs when they arrive on your doorstep. Tiny Monsters is an irresistible collection of black-and-white photos of these charming little creature kids. Each photo is paired with a witty caption. Within the full-color design of this 80-page keepsake, you’ll meet a cast of characters from ghoul to cool, all of whom enjoy putting on the dog, in some cases literally.

This collection of pint-sized costume wearers includes chapters on monsters and scary things, witches, princesses, tough guys, good guys, firefighters, "it" girls, and animals and crawly things. Adults will get a chuckle out of these earnest impersonations of everything from pirates and cowboys to rabbits and ladybugs. And kids will love flipping through to find their favorite costume-wearing counterparts all year round.
