Let's Play Monsters!

Gabriel is being chased by monsters! His friend is one, and so is his uncle, his grandma … even the cat! But who will catch him? A brand new picture book from the award-winning Lucy Cousins.

Come on everybody, Gabriel wants to PLAY! You be a monster, and he'll run away...

Gabriel is being chased by terrible monsters with sharp pointy teeth, spikes on their back, and smelly feet! But it's all right, they can't catch him ... or can they? Let's play monsters!

In this riotously funny new story from the award-winning Lucy Cousins, we follow our brave hero Gabriel as he runs away from a host of fantastically weird and wonderful monsters, played by everyone at home from his grandma to a potted plant. Inspired by Cousins' playtime with her own grandson, Let's Play Monsters is a delightful tale celebrating family and the power of imagination – featuring some truly magnificent monster creations!

Ending with a bedtime kiss, this is a perfect lockdown book, showing all the fun that can be had in the confines of the home, with whatever kind of family might be there. Elaina Ryan, CEO of Children’s Books Ireland
