Read along as Grover begs you not to turn the page—because there is a monster at this end of this book!  Lovable, furry old Grover is distressed to learn that there's a monster at the end of this book!

This all-time favorite is now available as a  Big Little Golden Book —perfect for lap-time reading.     Jon Stone    (1931–1997) is the author of this book, but he was also Sesame Street's principal director until 1996. Working with  Jim Henson , he helped create many of the Muppet characters, including Big Bird and Cookie Monster. He was also responsible for the show's format and setting. Stone contributed occasional announcer voices (such as the soap opera promo spoof " School in the Afternoon"),  and served similar duty on two Muppet Meeting Films. Stone died of complications from Lou Gehrig's disease on March 30th, 1997. In his New York Times obituary, Joan Ganz Cooney describes Stone as  "probably the most brilliant writer of children's television material in America".

Grover tries to stop the reader from reaching the end of the book, fearing a monster, only to find out he is the monster.
