There is no doubt Michelle Franklin likes her monsters huggable. 

Another standalone in the series. This is longer than Werewolves don’t celebrate Hanukkah, and the language feels a little more complex for a children's story. It's still as wholesome and has a lovely message of friendship and acceptance.

Meet Karla, the girl who listened to her heart instead of the crowd's loud voices, and Darryl, the (half-)orc who saved Christmas, and get to see the best orc-decorated Christmas tree. You might also learn (and fail to articulate) the correct pronunciation for Orcmas.
