Books by C T Walsh

***Use you most mysterious voice while reading*** For centuries, young children have feared the alleged monster beneath their beds. Oh, the havoc those monstrous monsters have wreaked upon so many tired little tots. Well, it''s time the tables are turned! Muwahahaha! Sorry, that was a bit much. Or was it not enough? I''ll let you be the judge. In book one of the Monstrosity Curiosity duology (I double dog dare you to say that ten times fast- and be sure to check out book two What Do Monsters Eat & Drink?), humor author C.T. Walsh speculates about what young monsters'' bedtimes looks like. And what''s more- who are said monsters afraid of when the lights go out? You might be surprised. Or not. You might be a total genius and figure it out or perhaps you have monster blood coursing through your veins and when you close your eyes, your monster fears come to life and you know what haunts them. If that''s the case, you should probably get that checked out, but if you are still quite unsure, it''s time we figure out this Monstrosity Curiosity and put this monster mystery to bed...if you dare. Muwahahaha! 

When the farm animals threaten to revolt over the less-than-gourmet cuisine of grass and bugs, Farmer Walsh must call upon the Kung Pao Cow, not to squash the rebellion but to make the farm animals' taste buds pop. But is she up to the task? Or will the job eat her alive…sorry that was a little bit over the top. The stakes aren't really that big, but you can imagine how difficult it is to feed a diverse farm. She won't be serving steaks, that's for sure! Or duck a l'orange. Or chicken ala king. You get the idea…You won't want to miss this funny, read-aloud tale with adorable illustrations and catchy rhyming prose. Children will gobble up this hilarious story from C.T. Walsh, author of the Middle School Mayhem series and the wacky, but loveable The 250-Year-Old Bride.
