Thelonius Monster's Sky-High Fly Pie — Judy Sierra

Thelonius Monster once swallowed a fly, and decided that flies would taste grand in a pie. That silly guy!

Judy Sierra's funny read-aloud romp presents a monster that children will love as he makes a goo-filled crust, lures hundreds and thousands of succulent flies into it, and invites his “disgusting-ist” friends and relations to a gala fly-pie party. “How it glistens! And listen -- it hums!” shout the ravenous monsters. But just as his guests are about to dig in -- the pie flies off. “Bye, bye, fly pie.”

Judy Sierra's story in rhyme begs to be read aloud during Halloween season or any season, and Edward Koren's signature hairy monsters capture all the humor of this deliciously gross tale.
