In the village of “Scare-a-Creature”, a young monster dreams of being the most terrifying of them all. But when his big moment comes to scare his first victims, his nerves get the better of him and… PRUUUF! – out comes a thunderous fart that causes more laughter than fear.
Will this peculiar little monster ever find his place in the world of fright?
This coming Thursday, 24 April at 11:30 am, head to 36 Gregori Mayans promenade (opposite the l’Envic Library) in Oliva, which will transform into a space filled with laughter, music and theatre thanks to El monstre Petorro – the family show based on the hit book created by Paco Cholbi and illustrated by Carles Arbat. The book has become a hit both in bookshops and on stage.
The event is free and open to all ages (even to those under 180 years old!) and is part of the April tour visiting towns across the Valencian region. In Oliva, the performance will feature Santi Cruanyes, Mar Chorro, Héctor Peris and the author’s sons, Gerard and Andreu, who will bring the tale to life with warmth, games, magic, emotion, and loads of humour.
El monstre Petorro, published by Bromera, Algar and Animallibres, has sold over 4,000 copies in just six months. It was the bestselling title at the 2024 Plaça del Llibre in València and also topped the charts for both Bromera and Animallibres during this period. What’s more, it won the VIII Enric Solbes International Prize for Illustrated Books.
