The Lost Boy and the Monster by Craig Kee Strete
With sound effects throughout, this rhyming read-aloud provides the opportunity for discussing appropriate and inappropriate behavior with preschoolers, as well as the concept of unconditional love. Transforming himself into a scaly-skinned, green-faced ghoul, this boy begins to growl and grumble, sneer and scowl.
He befriends the pet monster under his bed and makes general mayhem. While wandering the streets of Tokyo with his makeshift companion, Tatara, Kumatetsu meets Ren and suggests that the boy becomes his disciple. Though Ren is fiercely opposed, he follows Kumatetsu back to the Beast Kingdom out of curiosity but is unable to go back to the human world.
When Ren cheers for him, Kumatetsu is easily defeated. However, the Grandmaster declares the actual duel of succession has not come yet. The boy gradually finds that he can predict his master's movements to improve his fighting skills and they soon begin in training together for eight years.
When he rejects both his father and Kumatetsu, he discovers a powerful void within himself that nearly overwhelms him until Kaede calms him down and gives him a bracelet that has helped her when she becomes anxious. However, Kumatetsu uses his new privilege as the lord and reincarnates as a deity, taking the form of a sword "to be handled with the heart" in reference to their first training session together. In the aftermath, Ren celebrates his victory with Kaede in the Beast Kingdom and returns to the human world.
After reconciling with his father and himself, he attends the local university while Kumatetsu continues to live with Kyuta within his heart.
