Description

The beloved characters from the best-selling School of Monsters series are back in this brand-new, super-size look-and-find exploration of what monsters do all day!  Welcome to the School of Monsters : the funniest, silliest and most accessible series for first readers, by Australian Children's Laureate Sally Rippin! Frank's dad is a farmer, Jess's brother drives a garage truck, and Jack's mum is a firefighter. In this exciting deep-dive into the world of monsters and beyond, discover the different jobs monsters do all day and the incredible vehicles they drive. In the tradition of Richard Scarry's classic What Do People Do All Day?, every spread is filled with busy, detailed illustrations of the world and its characters in Chris Kennett’s inimitable style, alongside Sally Rippin's charming rhymes!  LEARN TO READ! Created especially for new and developing readers. On every spread, young readers have the chance to build their confidence with reading. Start by reading only the last word on every line and work your way up to reading the whole story. With tumbling rhymes and an infectious sense of humour, the weird and wonderful characters in School of Monsters and Beyond are guaranteed to spark a love of reading! My dad digs the earth and plants seedlings and trees, which grow into homes for the birds and the bees. He also grows barley and sweetcorn and wheat, which he harvests each year for the monsters to eat. What does Frank’s dad do? He's a farmer!  

Author Biography:

The Australian Children’s Laureate, Sally Rippin, is a best-selling and beloved author for children. Her most popular series include Billie B Brown, Hey Jack! and School of Monsters, and she has over 10 million books in print worldwide. She is also the author of one book for adults, Wild Things: How We Learn to Read and What Can Happen If We Don’t. Sally loves to write stories with heart featuring characters that resonate with children and is passionate about literacy and access to stories. She travels across the world speaking with parents, teachers and librarians about how to engage struggling readers. In 2024, Sally was named the eighth Australian Children’s Laureate, a two-year appointment to promote the importance and transformational power of reading, creativity and story in the lives of young Australians. Chris Kennett has been drawing ever since he could hold a pencil (or so his mum says). But professionally, Chris has been creating quirky characters for just over 20 years. He's best known for drawing weird and wonderful creatures from the Star Wars universe, and his School of Monsters and Nerd Herd series.
