What is Morris the mankiest monster about?

Meet Morris, a monster with a truly extraordinary approach to personal hygiene. His crusty T-shirt crawls with ants, his shoes squelch, and potatoes are growing out of his trousers. Morris may be wonderfully disgusting, but he is also cheerful, charming and completely comfortable being himself. Told in lively, rhyming verse, this funny picture book follows Morris’s wonderfully mucky habits and celebrates the joy of being different, while inviting young readers to laugh at every delightfully revolting detail.
