Morris the mankiest monster

October 4th, 2009 |

morris-the-mankiest-monster

I’ve spent a lovely afternoon making monsters with my son and Sarah McIntyre, the illustrator of the most revolting monster book I’ve ever read. It was great fun.

Morris the Mankiest Monster has ear wax like hot cheese as well as pustules, boils and rotting toe nails. In short, he’s adorable. My son already loves the book. Thank you Sarah for being so fun.

My eleven-year-old daughter might point out in her wisdom that Morris was an excellent metaphor for a whole raft of Tory policies. If, that is, I cared to explain them to her. Problem is I can’t even explain them to myself …

Adorable perhaps – but not as a metaphor.
