Unlike Other Monsters

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Colin Jack. Blue monster Zander finds himself courted by a new friend, a cute red bird. But this is confusing: monsters don't have friends. Time spent with the bird provides Zander with an opportunity for self-discovery and a lesson about going against the crowd, though Vernick's straight-faced humor keeps the story from feeling preachy or saccharine. Colorful Photoshop illustrations contain unexpected details and express genuine emotion.
