HUGGLY GETS DRESSED

This is the first in a new book series. Ever since I wrote FIVE UGLY MONSTERS, I have wanted to get to know the silly monsters living under the bed in that book. I drew more monsters but decided I loved the little green guys best. When I drew Huggly, I changed him a bit to look like a tiny, chubby, dinosaur-type thingum-a-whatever. He's a curious little monster and wants to learn more about the people-child who lives on the bed above. In HUGGLY GETS DRESSED he tries to figure out the puzzle of how people wear clothes. But the worst thing that can happen to a monster from under the bed is to get caught by the people.

I've written another Huggly story, HUGGLY TAKES A BATH, and have ideas for more. So far, they all take place in the people house. I hope to write further adventures of Huggly in the monster world under the bed. That is a world I've already started creating for a Scholastic cd-rom game titled HUGGLY'S SLEEPOVER™.
