Frank and Bean are back in this funny early reader/early chapter book.  Frank is on the hunt for the Stinky Feet Monster, which Bean doesn’t believe is real.  They follow Frank’s map through the woods and into a cave, singing a song to try to attract the monster.  Instead they find a friendly family of monsters who run a cheese shop.  Young readers will enjoy the last chapter when they learn that Bean is actually the Stinky Monster!  The colorful and fun illustrations enhance the humor of the story and help move the plot forward.  There are other books in this series, but this book definitely works as a stand alone and would be a fun addition to any collection.
