A second volume about Mussarat, a little Muslim girl, and her special bubblegum friend, Mr Monster. This blobby creature loves bananas and has the happy knack of averting disasters by sneezing. These four stories about a school outing to the seaside, the Louis Street School's carnival procession, a family visit to the zoo and a big family wedding paint a reassuring and harmonious picture of Muslim family life. The everyday incidents, events and little mishaps should be enjoyed by infant listeners though those who haven't read the first book may be puzzled as to the origins of Mr Monster.
