Frankenstein: A Monstrous Parody
![](https://www.colorincolorado.org/sites/default/files/styles/book_thumbnail/public/books/0312553668.jpg?itok=0VcHWxtc)
This silly-spooky parody of Ludwig Bemelman's Madeline emulates the original's cadence, storyline and illustration but with a decidedly Halloween-y twist. It begins, "In a creepy old castle/all covered in spines/lived twelve ugly monsters in two crooked lines
The ugliest one was Frankenstein." It is sure to amuse even those not familiar with the original.
