Smidgen: How to Make a Pet Monster 3 by Lili Wilkinson, illustrated by Alex Patrick

Have you ever wanted a pet monster? If you are like me, the answer is No, because you think monsters don’t exist. If you are like Willow, the answer is Yes Definitely. Willow and I found an ancient spell book called the Bigge Boke Of Fetching Monsters, which shows you how to make Real Monsters. We made Hodgepodge, who’s a bit furry and a bit stinky. He’s my best friend. Then Willow made Flummox, but they didn’t get along all that well, and Flummox went to live with one of our friends. So now Willow wants to try again. I do Not think this is a very good idea.
