The yark

A very funny and cheerfully subversive chapter book about a monster who eats children-until one day he makes a friend.

The Yark loves children . . . with the love of a gourmand! This hairy monster dreams of child buffets-ham of boy, orphan gratin, breaded babies, girl rillettes.

But he has a problem: his delicate stomach can only tolerate nice children; liars give him heartburn and savages spoil his teeth. There are not nearly enough good, edible children around to keep him from starvation.
