When Ickis becomes spontaneously combustible, burping smoke and fire and in danger of exploding, his classmates in monster school are afraid to be near him.

They're gruesome! They're ghastly! They're REAL MONSTERS, and they're learning how to scare the pants off you. Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm, three young monsters, attend the elite Monster Academy. Here they are honing their skills in the hope of one day being perfectly awful! At the museum, Ickis comes up with the most horrendous scare: He places Krumm's eyeballs in the mummy Katana's sockets. How inspiring! Humans run in terror when they see the mummy come to life. But the scare becomes truly frightful when Ickis can't get the eyeballs back out!

Allegra and her friends make their own zoo at a day care center.
