People will tell you that there are no such things as monsters. But, if you ask Alexander Applebee, he will tell you another story. He has a math monster, and that monster can be very distracting when it's time to do math. Alex tries telling his teacher, his mother and his grandpa about his blue math monster. But, no one seems to understand until he has a conversation with his friend Amy.

My Math Monster is all about Alex's unexpected adventures with his math monster. It reminds us that success in life is often a matter of recognizing and learning to deal with our own creatures.
