We follow 7-year-old Olivia, who has just moved to a new house. In it, she discovers, lives a cookie-stealing lonely monster named Burrufu. Soon they discover each other and embark on a rather strange and bumpy journey and a tale about finding friendship in the most unexpected places.

First of all, I want to say that Sorrentino's illustrations are amazing, and accompany Corral's writing perfectly. Together they have created this book, which might be the equivalence of King Kong for children. About how the beast also is the beauty and that fear of the unknown is the most dangerous fear of them all wrapped up in a great bedtime story with families, cookies and drawings and everything else that will make children love this book.

The only thing I have to say against it, is just how the narrator's "voice" is treated. I understand it's a children's book and this might be because I'm 19 years old, but I think there are tad bit too many "explanations" or "rationalizations", instead of leaving room for the children to imagine it. It's very straight-forward, which works the later you get into the book, but in the beginning, it's a bit restricting as it puts some small barriers around the story and the characters.

Corral gives the readers some food for their thoughts: "Who is the monster and who is the man?" which adds a more adult touch to the story and generalizes, so anyone can enjoy it and I certainly did.
