MORRIS THE MANKIEST MONSTER by Giles Andreae and Sarah McInytre; David Fickling Books, hardback, £10.99
The title provides a clue but it's hardly enough warning to unsuspecting adults of what lurks inside. Prepare to meet Morris and be disgusted at his hygiene and habits. He has bogies and scabs and pustules that 'dribble'. Dead bugs lurk in his armpits and his shoes are all 'slurpy' and 'squelchy' inside. What's more, the story gets worse and worse with each new page. Adults will be revolted and struggle to read to the end; children, I'm afraid, will just love it.
