A little monster finds her own way to shine

Betty Blob is expected to act like a monster, but growling and frightening others don’t come naturally to her. She prefers dancing, rainbows, and cute furry creatures, leaving her unsure about the scaly black dress her mother chooses for monster picture day. The school-day setup turns Betty’s mismatch with monster expectations into a story about self-expression and the pressure to please a parent. Framed as a humorous picture book with a social-emotional learning angle, it centers on the idea that being yourself is enough.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books

★ BookPage, starred review

It's monster picture day again! Itty Bitty Betty Blob sits in front of the mirror practicing her growling for the camera. But for Betty growling is not so easy. She's not a typical monster, and she doesn't love scaring anyone. What does Betty love? Dancing and rainbows and cute furry creatures. So when Betty's mom hands her a perfectly horrible scaly black dress to wear on picture day, Betty isn't sure. Of course she wants to make mom happy, so she heads off to school with high hopes, practicing her growling all the way there... and that's when Betty makes a discovery that feels just right.
