Hattie and Hudson by Chris Van Dusen is the story of a young girl and her monster friend. She knows he's gentle and kind, but she has to convince the rest of the townspeople. It's a story reminiscent of tales of the Loch Ness Monster. The illustrations are vibrant and fun.
My 5 year old daughter sat and listened to it quietly and ended it with a small grin on her face. It's a great read aloud book and is long enough that a young reader would enjoy reading it too.
