Welcome to Monsterbooks.net...

This site features a series of picture books written by Hal Pollock

The Monsterbooks are illustrated rhyming books that appeal to all generations. Some say they will be the Dr. Seuss books of this century. The books are a response to parents desire for books to read to their children that adults can also enjoy. They draw upon themes that resonate with adults, the Beatles, presidential politics, baseball, etc.

So Many Monsters addresses childhood fear of monsters and teaches children that monsters are just imaginary. Monster for President is a satirical look at presidential politics with adult humor and allusions to many great political leaders. The humor will go over children's heads, but they will love the characters in the story. Monstermania is the story of four lovable monsters from Monsterpool. It is the perfect vehicle for adults to share their memories of the Beatles with their children and grandchildren, and to introduce the Beatles' story and music to new generations. Monster at the Bat is a parody of Casey at the Bat with the long awaited happy ending that baseball fans have wanted for over 100 years.

All book orders placed on this website will receive first edition autographed copies of all books while they last!
