Just what does a monster like to eat? Why, flies of course! The tastiness of flies is what inspires Thelonius Monster to make a huge pie full of flies. After getting advice from a spider, he sets out collecting flies from the grossest of gross places and gets started on his pie. But when he invites his family and friends to share it, something perfectly terrible goes wrong. Can his revolting dinner party be saved? Written in rhyme and simply illustrated with black drawings, this story is sure to have you laughing and cringing as Thelonius builds the pie of flies.
