So, is the book about?

Well, Hudson lives in the Monster Forest and he’s hungry, always hungry. One day he’s on the edge of the forest, and sees Human Town, a village where the humans are just leading their normal human lives, but they’ve got really tasty looking human food.

Hudson lets his stomach lead him to go on a crashing journey through the town, eating everything in site. Luckily, their are two human kids, Eli and Olive that connect to Hudson and try to steer him away from collateral damage.

Finally, our favorite monster eats enough to make him ‘explode’. Monsters plert, which replaces a human fart, burp, and every other human excretion. This of course is embarrassing for Hudson and he trudges back in to the woods, despite Eli and Olive calling him back.

We then find out Hudson has a brother, Greg (Graaaiiiiigggg) as the Monster Bros come back and fix Hudson’s damage and the two communities then come together and live happily ever after.

The author is raising funds to pay for the rest of this wonderfully illustrated art.

About the Author

Aaron Fox’s journey to being a children’s book author took some slow yet interesting turns. He was born and grew up around the tiny little town of Brazito, MO, just south of the state’s capital, Jefferson City. Things moved a little slower in Brazito. Because of this and a natural predisposition to taking things as they came, Fox lived a sloth-like existence when it came to most things — slow to react, but quick to analyze the situation.

One of the things that did get Fox’s heart rate up was sports. Not playing, mind you; he was still lumbering when it came to that. But when it came to watching, talking about and even writing about sports, Fox had a voracious appetite. He especially loved the St. Louis Cardinals in baseball and the Missouri Tigers in every sport. Fox took his love of Mizzou sports one step further in 1999 when he attended the University of Missouri. Then, he took his love for writing about and talking about sports to another level when he graduated with a Bachelor’s in Broadcast Journalism from Mizzou in 2003.
