This story takes us to the land of monsters where everything we normally teach children is exactly the opposite. It’s good to be late for school. It’s good not to turn in your homework and it’s good to have lice. Flop however doesn’t believe any of that, and he’s a bit of an oddball among all the monsters. When given a chance to go into the forbidden forest, he does, and finds out that it’s the forest of kindness, full of bright colors, rainbows, and happiness. He loves it. However, the story ends abruptly and there is no closure, so it feels left up in the air which makes the whole thing a so-so read.
