Thelonius Monster's Sky-High Fly Pie

Written by Judy Sierra
Illustrated by Edward Koren

It’s not everyday you read a piece of poetry that involves dumpster diving, hungry monsters, and a pie that flies away. Children will love this hilariously disgusting story about Thelonius Monster’s baking experiment. Edward Koren’s simple black, white, and green drawings of hairy monsters and tons of flies cleverly draw your attention to the winged stars of the poem, while Judy Sierra’s language and rhythm combine to create a laugh-out-loud poem.
