It’s almost Christmastime, and Monster needs a tree. But the holidays are filled with joy and so many fun things to do! After snowballs, sleds, and Santa Claus, will he find a tree in time? In this festive, rhyming story, Monster shows young readers that with a little creativity, a tree can be perfect any way you look at it. Paul Czajak got an ‘F’ with the words “get a tutor” written on his college writing paper and after that, never thought he’d become a writer. But after spending twenty years as a chemist, he knew his creativity could no longer be contained. He is the author of many books including several others in the “Monster & Me” series. He lives in Danvers, MA.. Meet Paul for a story time at The Town Book Store located at 270 East Broad Street in Westfield (corner of East Broad and Elmer Streets).
