Produktbeschreibung

Someone is stealing from the family's mango tree! Could it be a mango monster? After waiting all year for mango season, Marianne is excited that the mangoes on their tree are ripe and ready to eat. She loves mangoes and plans to eat all of them. But when she and her sidekick cousin Zoe check out the tree, the lower branches have been picked clean. Someone is stealing their mangoes! Who could it be? Marianne's neighbor says it could be a mango monster. This exciting idea is more than a bit scary, but the girls are not deterred, and they decide to catch the mango monster in the act. They set all kinds of traps, hoping to uncover the thief--and end up with surprising results. The Mango Monster is a fun, imaginative, and tasty read that encourages sharing with others. Marianne's powers of deduction and problem-solving skills will delight those who enjoy solving a mystery, and the beautiful artwork will have readers searching for the mango monster in the background of each spread.
