Why read it?

1 author picked Big Bad Bubble as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love weird humor. I always have. These guys are like the Monty Python of kids books. 

Four monsters from an alternate world of cheap real estate and donut trees run around terrified of bubbles. They have fangs and claws and huge horns (the monsters, not the bubbles).

Fetch the soft cushions and the comfy chair. This book…
