What do monsters like to play with? Dinosaurs, crayons and … lemons?

What will these little monsters do at playtime today? Megan is making a mouse house, and Deegan is dressing up dinosaurs. Leonie is busily lining up lemons, while Cassie is driving cars ... into Peter and Parvil’s block palace. Oops! But Ramona needs a rest, so here comes Bernard with a blanket and book! Whether musical or messy, artsy or sporty, toddlers will reach for Daisy Hirst’s charming ode to playtime.
