Many years ago, when my daughter was just a small child, the nightly ritual started at least 30 minutes before bedtime. To calm her worries that there were "monsters" in her room, I would check every place in the room that they could hide-in the closet, in the toybox, under the bed, etc. to show her there were no monsters. Finally, one day after a long hard day of being a mom I just agreed with her that there are monsters but they couldn't possibly come to her room that night because they were too busy doing their own things and living their own lives. It worked!! The ritual went from checking to see if they were there, to a simple question as I tucked her in. "Mommy, what do monsters do tonight?" Thus was born the book of the same title. Told in verse with vivid, adorable illustrations, the 'ritual' has become a tradition in our family and I hope it will in yours as well.

No two lizard species have spawned as much folklore, wonder, and myth as the Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum, and the Beaded Lizard, H. horridum—the sole survivors of an ancient group of predacious lizards called the Monstersauria. More like snakes on legs, monstersaurs are a walking contradiction: they are venomous yet don't appear to use their venom for subduing prey; their mottled patterns mingle with the broken shadows and textures of their desert and tropical dry forest habitats, yet their bright open mouths hiss a bold warning that a nasty bite awaits those who advance further. And while Gila Monster venom produces excruciating pain, it also contains a peptide that has become a promising new drug for treating type-2 diabetes. Perhaps the ultimate paradox is that monstersaurs are among the most famous of lizards, yet until quite recently they have remained among the least studied. With numerous illustrations, stunning color photographs, and an up-to-date synthesis of their biology, this book explains why the Monstersauria seems poised to change the way we think about lizards. Daniel D. Beck—who has been investigating Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards for over 22 years—teams up here with award-winning wildlife photographer Tom Wiewandt to produce a comprehensive summary of this small but remarkable family of lizards.

Lemon Ziegler wants to escape rural Devil’s Elbow, Pennsylvania to attend college—but that’s impossible now that she’s expected to impersonate the town’s lake monster for the rest of her life. Her family has been secretly keeping the tradition of Old Lucy, the famed (and very fake) monster of Lake Lokakoma, alive for generations, all to keep the tourists coming.
