Part of the My First Picture Book series: printed on toddler-tough card with rounded corners 
 
Sometimes I'm an angel, helpful, sweet and kind. 
But sometimes I'm a MONSTER with mischief on my mind! 
 
Award-winning illustrator Georgie Birkett brings to life these four lovable friends as they show that every child has a monster, as well as a little angel, inside them. This is a witty look at good and bad manners, full of warmth and humour, and a wonderful companion to Sometimes I Feel Sunny.

Four toddlers explore their good and bad sides in this sweet, funny rhyming read
