Maggie's Monsters | Books from Scotland

“Look at those big round eyes! Could they belong to a monster?” Maggie asked.

Maggie loves monsters, but she is bored of her toy monsters and would much prefer a real one to play with. Perhaps on her trip around Scotland she’ll find one! Using her trusty binoculars, Maggie discovers an abundance of Scottish wildlife – a highland coo, a grey seal and even a golden eagle – but they are not the monster she’s searching for. Eventually Maggie spots the perfect monsters to play with, but it’s not quite what she expected …

Maggie’s Monsters by Coo Clayton and Alison Soye is published by Black and White Publishing on 26 June 2018 priced £6.99.
