Morris the Mankiest Monster 'must be the most revolting picture book of the year .

Irresistibly, exuberantly disgusting, a new picture book from the author of "Giraffes Can't Dance," with a hero who flosses his teeth with slugs Meet Morris, the world's stinkiest picture book hero. It's been years since he last changed his T-shirt. It's crusty and crawling with ants. His shoes are all slurpy and squelchy inside, and potatoes grow out of his pants. Morris is sweet, charming . . . and completely disgusting. Kids will love him.
