Go Away,Big Green Monster

“Go Away, Big Green Monster!” is a children’s picture book by Ed Emberley that was first published in 1992. The book tells the story of a child who creates and then disassembles a big green monster using different parts and colors. As the monster’s features are revealed page by page, the child tells the monster to “go away” until it disappears entirely.

The book is designed to help young children overcome their fear of monsters by allowing them to deconstruct and control the monster’s appearance. Each page adds a new feature to the monster, such as its big yellow eyes, long blue nose, and sharp white teeth, while also reminding the child that they are the one in control. By the end of the book, the child has dismantled the monster entirely and can rest easy, knowing they have conquered their fear. The book features bright, bold illustrations that are sure to capture the attention of young readers.
