In Are You My Monster?, the monster-loving boy from I Need My Monster tries to find his monster. He compares his drawing--showing a green monster with a long tail, pointy nails, and big teeth--with an assortment of amusing monsters, until he finds the perfect match.
This turns out to be his beloved STUFFED monster toy. Children will love comparing colors, checking if tails are long or short, if nails are pointy or round, if teeth are big or small until they, too, find the monster who is a perfect match.

A young boy needs to find the monster in his drawing before he can go to sleep. Little ones will enjoy the parade of silly creatures he checks against his drawing, while also learning colors and matching. The sweet ending shows that even those with sharp teeth and scratchy claws can be cuddly, turning the monster-under-the-bed trope on its head.
