That’s Not the Monster We Ordered
Richard Fairgray and Terry Jones
Acclaimed comic writers Richard Fairgray and Terry Jones have once
again created a picture book that’s bursting with wacky humour and
clever illustrations. That’s Not the Monster We Ordered
will have kids
clamouring to get their own monsters, too!
The Turner family has just got a monster, and the whole neighbourhood is
in awe of his
superhero stature, daredevil skill and all-round usefulness. It can roar
louder than a lion,
carry the whole class on its back and eat grass so that no-one needs to
mow.
Everyone wants their own monster.
But sometimes the monster you order isn’t necessarily the monster you
get . . .
A playful picture book with a twist on family pets that children will
love.
Richard Fairgray is a NZ writer and illustrator who works on comics,
picture books and screenplays.
He has been publishing work since he was seven years old, and has more
than 200 titles to his name.
A former teacher and stand-up comedian, and a self-confessed workaholic,
Richard’s deep-seated fear that he may be a fictional character only serves to drive him
harder. He insists that if he doesn’t get enough done he’ll have to come back as a ghost to finish off.
Welsh-born Terry Jones has written magazine articles, text books,
two YA novels and numerous comics as well a slew of unfinished sci-fi and thriller manuscripts.
Since retiring early from teaching to write full time, he has produced everything from children’s books to
screenplays, plus at least one graphic novel a year.
Terry immerses himself in digital media and is never more alive than
when critiquing Silver Age Superboy stories or linking Twilight Zone episodes to sure signs of a
crumbling society.
