Amazon Description
To avoid eating his dinner of cheese souffle+a7 and string beans, Mo turns into a monster and proceeds to eat his home, his neighborhood, and even the world, but when he is done, his dinner is still waiting. Reprint. NYT. H. K.One Potato Review
The boy of the title devours his parents, his country, indeed everything which has not been placed before him, and meanwhile reveals himself to be a monster living within a monster with a disposable head. This was never going to be pretty (Drescher’s grotesque puppets will alert you to that), still what’s impressive is just how far this author is willing to indulge his delightfully awful taste.
