The Monster Who Ate Darkness
By Joyce Dunbar
Illustrated by Jimmy Liao
Bringing together award-winning author Joyce Dunbar and Jimmy Liao, Asia's most brilliant young illustrator with his first English language book.
There is a tiny monster under Jo-Jo's bed, who discovered he likes to eat darkness; and the more darkness he eats, the bigger and hungrier he grows. What will happen if the monster eats all the darkness in the world?
- Taiwanese illustrator Jimmy Liao has generated an almost cult-following in his home country for his incredibly original drawings which have been compared to Anthony Browne.

Review
"With Liao’s gorgeous illustrations cleverly bringing the (very cute) darkness monster to life, Dunbar weaves a delicious story around a common childhood fear, and with The Monster Who Ate Darkness she may even offer a permanent cure." www.kidspot.com.au
