Here be monsters is a children's picture book written by Jonathan Emmett.
This book has changed many times over the 18 years of making and was once going to be a pop-up book about a little girl that uses a map to find monsters.
As this idea wasn't being accepted by publishers, Jonathan Emmett shelved the idea and continued to work on other books.
After working with illustrator Poly Bernatene on two other books, Jonathan brought out Here Be Monsters again and began to re-work the story.
Sending the story off to Poly Bernatene to work on Jonathan got a surprise when the characters came back as animals instead of humans.
He soon warmed up to the idea and with a few adjustments to make the characters more menacing the book was finished.
