Picture book

Books like this one--Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich...and other stories you're sure to like because they're all about monsters, and some of them are also about food. You like food, don't you? Well, all right then.--(Yes, that's the cover title) make my job fun. Here's the table of contents (which is designed as a menu):
Frankenstein makes a sandwich -- The creature from the black lagoon doesn't wait an hour before swimming -- The phantom of the opera can't get "It's a Small World" out of his head w/ buffalo mozzarella -- The Middlewich Witch-Watchers Club : a club sandwich which watches witches -- An open letter from Wolfman's best friend -- The invisible man gets a haircut -- The phantom of the opera still can't get "It's a Small World" out of his head w/a white wine vinaigrette -- Count Dracula doesn't know he's been walking around all night with spinach in his teeth -- The mummy won't go to his eternal rest without a story and some cookies -- The yeti doesn't appreciate being called Bigfoot -- If the phantom of the opera can't get "Pop Goes the Weasel" out of his head he's going to freak out -- The lunchsack of Notre Dame -- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Henderson's five-alarm chili -- Zombie Zombie -- Now the phantom of the opera can't get "The Girl from Ipanema" out of his head w/a peppercorn coulis -- The dentist -- The phantom of the opera is considering giving up music and doing his haunting somewhere else -- Bigfoot can't believe you called him a yeti just now -- Godzilla pooped on my Honda : an Asian delight! -- Dessert : monster truck Sundae! Sundae!
Read those carefully.

Definitely a book designed to be enjoyed by kids...and their parents. I'm snorting and giggling as I type.
