Below are some of my favorite pages in
Mayhem and a Monster...A boy's adventure with his cat.
Here’s a hint, as you read the book, always look for the black cat on every page and make sure you look at the name tag on his collar.
“There’s no such thing as a monster.”
I really enjoy this illustration because Mother tells the boy “There’s no such thing as a monster.” and the black cat looks really confused. I find it amusing that Elena, the illustrator, drew the picture this way. Guess you’ll have to read the book to find out why.
“I was scared. It was a magnificent time for mayhem and a monster.”
Look at the moon, the water, the black cat and the shadows. The illustration is beautiful. Then repeat. I was scared. It was a magnificent time for mayhem and a monster, my favorite line.
