Synopsis

How would You Catch a Monster? is a multiple-choice book that caters for children’s fascination with choosing one favourite.

A small monster hunter is preparing for a quest to catch monsters. The focus is not on the narrative or the actual monster capture, but on the preparation and the choice as a process: which clothes to wear, which weapon to bring, which horse to ride, which food to take along? 

The book builds on children's fascination with choosing games: you choose one personal favourite per page, only one, and there are no consequences or right/wrong choices. The fun lies in choosing and the considerations leading to the choice. The child is encouraged to feel what is their personal choice.

With beautiful, colourful illustrations that are bound to keep children engaged for a long time.
