    Book SynopsisUh-oh, there might be something creeping around in the attic. Could it be a monster? After a little girl hears something snooping around in the attic when she’s sleeping, she decides to investigate. How can she sleep when something is making creaking noises and stealing her toys when she’s not looking? In typically zany Mayer fashion, an intrepid girl confronts a resident nightmare with delightfully unexpected results.—Publishers WeeklyThe story is satisfying, humorous, possibly bibliotherapeutic, and significantly different from previous titles to justify making room on the shelf for this nightmare as well.—School Library Journal

    Amazon Publishing Octopus Soup

    Book SynopsisTrade Review“In the opening panels of this wordless picture book, an octopus emerges from his home, pulling a small walrus in a red wagon. He climbs up a rope dropped by a hippopotamus fisherman and is caught, and from there his adventures take off in a series of three-to-four boxed illustrations per page. Young children will giggle as he wiggles his way through busy cobblestone streets, evading a hippopotamus city worker’s broom and the clutches of a walrus chef and a rat waiter in a tux. The artist’s signature cartoons are colorful, whimsical, and entertaining. Mayer continues to enchant a new generation of readers.” —School Library Journal
