In this book, kids meet deadly dust-dwellers, toilet terrors, and things that squish, squirm, and slime. There's a hideous creature that can live for months without its head, a beetle that blasts its victims with toxic spray, and five-eyed monsters that vomit on their prey to turn them into mush. Kids love gross, and even the nastiest beasties are helpful in some way.
