Rotten Island Synopsis

The perfect picture book for rambunctious kids-monsters of all kinds battle it out every day on Rotten Island. But can all that glorious rottenness last forever? "Without question, the monster book of the year."-Boston Globe

What would happen if every creature on land and sea were free to be as rotten as possible? If every day was a free-for-all; if plants grew barbed wire; if the ocean were poison? That's life on Rotten Island. For creatures that slither, creep, and crawl (not to mention kick, bite, scratch, and play nasty tricks on each other), Rotten Island is paradise.

But then, on a typically rotten day, something truly awful happens. Something that could spoil Rotten Island forever. Out of a bed a gravel on the scorched earth, a mysterious, beautiful flower begins to grow… This is a wonderfully raucous, fantastically colorful, reminder that nothing rotten lasts forever.

William Steig was a master of the children's book. Author of Shrek!-the basis for the movie series-and many other beloved and award-winning titles, Rotten Island is Steig at his imaginative best.
