SOAPY-DOPE
The Monster Who Lived in a Chuckhole
Written by Denvil Mullins
Illustrated by Carol Bates Murray

The Soapy-Dope, a mean ol’ monster who lives in a chuckhole beside the road, likes to scare happy little woodland animals. He jumps out of his hole and startles everyone who happens to walk by. Well...what goes around comes around, and the Soapy-Dope gets what he deserves. But, as with everything in nature, he still serves a vital purpose.
