Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance (2 page)

Keith Graves is a human who always wanted to be a monster, but never had the right shoes. He is the author-illustrator of several other books, including Pet Boy, which Kirkus Reviews described as “bursting with color and a host of strange creatures” and of which Booklist said, “delivers a worthy thought with engaging silliness.” Keith lives somewhere in the middle of Texas with a lovely princess and little twin monsters.
