Nicholas Pickering is the latest title in the fun-packed Monstrous Morals series, aimed at helping parents tackle those bad habits every child inevitably picks up. As always, there’s a happy ending but not before Nicholas has learned a lesson he’ll never forget. Lost in the slimy green tunnel of his nostril - amid screeching bats, poisonous snakes, a wayward owl, and a long-lost kite - Nicholas has a terrifying encounter with a stomach churning, gooey monster - The Bogeyman. The creature picks a fight with Nicholas for being so impolite and the boy is left to wonder how on earth he'll get home? Written in comical rhyme, and beautifully illustrated, the Monstrous Morals are building into a unique collection of children's books, and Nose-Pickin' Nicholas Pickering is bound to be picked up time and time again. The Monstrous Morals series is an educational way of helping parents to get their messages across in a fun way. Each story comes with not only a Monstrous Moral but with a Monstrous Mouthfuls glossary of new words for young readers to add to their vocabularies.
