A country where monsters live

One night, Max, who was playing around dressed as a wolf, was punished by his mother and locked in his room. Max is punished in his room, but doesn't the room turn into a jungle and a river? Max took a boat to the land of monsters, quickly defeated the monsters, and played happily together. Then he smells delicious food and he gets back in the boat. Mom prepared dinner in Max's room. Let’s go on Max’s journey with the fantastic paintings that win the Caltecott Award.

『The Land of Monsters』 is uniquely structured so that you can naturally distinguish between reality and the world of fantasy. In the part where reality is expressed, there is a lot of blank space and the picture gets smaller, and when it becomes a fantasy world, the blank space slowly narrows, and when Max's room becomes the entire world, the blank space disappears completely and the picture fills the page. In addition, the monsters' movements and ingenious facial expressions add to the enjoyment of watching them, allowing children to learn the joy of books.
