Grover doesn't realize he's the monster at the end of the book because he's afraid of monsters. He tries everything he can to keep you in cute cartoon form not to turn the page to find the monster at the end of the book. When you get to the end of the book Grover's message is you shouldn't be afraid of monsters. Very cute book with very cute illustrations.

Seasonal Parents? It happens every Christmas all over the country, all over the world. Large signs are placed in windows and on doors with these “Now hiring seasonal workers.” If you get that job, you will not be obligated forever. You are just signing up for a short stint to help some people with a need. That’s the idea behind this book.Missional fostering is the other lane of the fostering freeway, and it recognizes that you are not necessarily trying to add a new child into your home. Missional fostering is parenting someone else’s child for them for a short period of time. Missional fostering means we love on them, feed them, hold them, stabilize them, cuddle with the young ones, high-five the big ones, and then watch them drive away to a long-term foster-to-adopt home. Mission accomplished. Missional fostering reminds us that it is a temporary assignment, for a tremendous cause, making a timeless impact on children one life at a time.“Something special happens when a person says, ‘I’m willing to be your really good temporary if it helps you find your even better forever.’ This is fos- ter care, and it’s the compelling message you’ll feel resonating from every page of Missional Fostering.”Jason Johnson, National Director of Church Ministry Initiatives, The Christian Alliance for Orphans Author, ReFraming Foster Care
In recent years, poetry and video games have begun talking to - and taking from - one another in earnest. Poets, ever in pursuit of meaning, now draw inspiration from digital-interactive fantasy worlds, while video game developers aim to enrich their creations by imbuing them with poetic depth. This book investigates the phenomena of poem-game hybrids and other forms of poetic-ludic interplay, making use of both a multidisciplinary critical approach and the author's own experiments in building and testing hybrid artefacts. What emerges is the suggestion of a future where reading and playing are no longer seen as separate endeavours, where the quests for sensory pleasure and philosophic insight are one and the same.
