More marvellous muckiness
- Helen Brown, Daily Telegraph
Treading the tightrope between revolting and sweet is hard but Morris does it. What a gem!
Books for Keeps
This is not a tale for the faint-hearted, but children who enjoyed the bottom humour of Giles Andreae's <i>Pants</i> will doubtless love it
Junior
Must be the most revolting picture book of the year! . . . This book needs a warning to parents - they're going to have to read it over and over again - children will absolutely love it
The Bookseller
Adults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it
Nursery World
There is something about snot which intrigues at this age and <i>Morris the Mankiest Monster</i> provides plenty of toenails, pustules and other delights from a disgusting but friendly monster
- Alison Walsh, Irish Independent on Sunday
Children will absolutely love it - I will leave adults to make up their own minds . . . The illustrations are wonderful - full of grisly details that children will adore, and they will delight in reading the story to you. Great fun!
Parents In Touch
Any book that has an embossed green bogey on the cover has already got my vote. This frankly vile book is a complete and utter joy from beginning to end . . . A revoltingly good treat for young children
- Stacia Briggs, Norwich Telegraph
Sarah McIntyre certainly does not hold back with her illustrations of Giles Andreae's hilarious rhyming words . . . Sarah's illustrations are all beautifully drawn, with an incredible attention to detail that will have children poring lovingly over the pages
Book Zone For Boys
Comes across as an infant <i>Fungus the Bogeyman</i> in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well
The School Librarian
Morris the Mankiest Monster 'must be the most revolting picture book of the year . . . children will absolutely love it.' Bookseller
Giles Andreae and Sarah McIntyre would like you to meet Morris, the world's stinkiest picture book hero...
It's years since he last changed his t-shirt
It's crusty and crawling with ants
His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside
And potatoes grow out of his pants
