How to Care for Your Monster by Norman Bridwell is a humorous book from 1970 that serves as a whimsical guide on how to take care of various classic monsters like vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein's monster. Check Blogs
The book is illustrated in a light-hearted, cartoonish style, reflecting the same charm as Bridwell's more famous Clifford the Big Red Dog series. Mazzios Coupons
