About Claire Freedman

From the creators of the best selling, Richard and Judy Children's Books winning Aliens Love Underpants comes the MONSTERSAURUS!Monty LOVES inventing But things don't always work - His walking toaster ran away And the robot went BERSERK! But then one day Monty found a book with instructions on how to create inventions very rare...read it if you dare! Monstersaurus follows the story of a child who likes inventing and he makes some monsters but it doesn't turn out quite as he planned until he happens to make another monster that saves the day. I never really felt this story went anywhere particularly interesting and whilst it did flow well to read I found it a bit boring to read as well.

Things snowballed and a lot (yes lots and lots) of hard work later I now write full time and have over 50 books published. I still go to the same writing class and we have become a big happy family of writers! There are lots of examples of onomatopoeia in the story. Can you find them all? Can you think of any more? For me, writing is the best job ever. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. I love to create worlds for young children to enjoy and escape into – whether the stories are educational, bedtime, problem solving or just plain good fun. It’s also very exciting to see the first picture roughs, as my wonderful, talented illustrators bring the text to life. Think about the ingredients that Monty might need for one of his inventions. How much of each item will you need? Can you use these to make some word problems involving weight / capacity / ratio?The Aliens Love Underpants pair have dreamed up a big, bold thriller ofa picture book… this is a guaranteed favourite.” - Daily Mail No Aliens this Christmas, but fans can look forward to a monstrous new invention from the award-winning author and illustrator team. Brilliantly zany illustrations tell you the story along with the rhyming text. There's a big - and hilarious - surprise at the end. A really enjoyable book. But then one day Monty found a book with instructions on how to create inventions very rare... read it if you dare! This fantastic rhyming story - with hilarious pictures of aliens and, well, underpants -is simply pantastic!" Galaxy British Book Awards 2008
