Abstract: Iris odiava usare la forchetta per mangiare, stare seduta composta, pulirsi la bocca con il tovagliolo, mettere in ordine i giocattoli e infilarsi il pigiama per andare a dormire. Adorava guardare le stelle, ma quando loro spuntavano nel cielo nero, lei era costretta a mettersi sotto le coperte. La notte di Natale, però, Iris scopre un mostro sotto il suo letto... e capisce di non essere l'unica a voler sempre fare le cose al contrario! Una storia natalizia dedicata alla bellezza di pensare con la propria testa e accettare il punto di vista altrui anche quando è diverso dal proprio. Durante la lettura, ruota il libro di 180 gradi: il libro, a tratti, si sfoglia al contrario! Età di lettura: da 5 anni.
