In its first year of publication, the book, which is one of the first to star Grover, sold two million copies. To the amusement and relief of Grover, the monster at the end of the book turns out to be none other than himself, leaving the latter very embarrassed over what he has just gone through. After each page is turned, the results of the failed effort is shown, and Grover tries a new method to keep the reader from turning yet another page. He uses several methods to try and keep the reader from progressing, including tying the pages shut and cementing them together with bricks. In this book, Grover is horrified to learn that there is a monster at the end of the book and begs the reader not to finish it, so as to avoid the monster. It was written by Jon Stone and illustrated by Mike Smollin. The Monster at the End of This Book was published in 1971 by Golden Press.
