My husband is trying to find a book that his grandpa read to him when he was a child (husband was born in 1979). What he remembers: it was about a creature or monster, and there was a moon, and there were lots of funny sounds/noises in it. Sort of LIKE “Where the Wild Things Are” but it was a different book. Thank you!
Could it be The Wugly Ump by Edward Gorey?
I really thought this might be it! But alas, I ran it by my husband and it wasn’t the book he was trying to remember… I appreciate your help though!!
Possibly something from Mercer Mayer’s “Little Monster” series?
I’m been looking for a book that sounds a lot like this, but also cannot think of the title. “A creature” and the moon were two of the things I most remember. Also, some sort of treasure that the creature was maybe tricked into giving away? Does that sound similar to what your husband remembers?
