Bernard’s got a problem: he’s found a monster in the back garden but his mum and dad are just too busy to notice. So Bernard tries to befriend the monster… and that doesn’t go quite to plan.
David McKee’s iconic picture book is loved by children, monsters and adults for forty years.

‘Arguably the finest children’s book ever written, McKee’s clever fable is both a warning to neglectful parents and a very funny story about being ignored.’ THE i NEWSPAPER

Reviews
I thought this book was funny. It was funny that Dad kept getting hurt and it was funny that they thought Bernard was a monster! My mummy used to read this book and got very excited about me reading it.

I liked the monster doing what ever the mum said. It’s funny because they think it’s Bernard.

it's funny because the parents don't realize that a monster ate it

Enjoyed but thought it was sad, especially when Bernard got eaten and ignored by his parents.
