Award-winning actor, comedian, musician, and artist Kate Micucci teams up with #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Mo Willems as part of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning early reader series ELEPHANT & PIGGIE LIKE READING!

When Monster meets Puppet, they decide to put on a show. Puppet knows what Monster should do! Monster should tell a joke! Monster should dance! Monster should sing! But the more Monster does, the more Puppet wants MORE.

What should Monster do when The Monster and Puppet Show! is not fun any . . . MORE!?!

Kate Micucci’s vibrant pop art and humorous storytelling cleverly explore themes of friendship, peer pressure, boundaries, and self-preservation. This funny beginning reader, for kids ages 4 to 8, supports early reading skill-building and is an ideal read-aloud book.
