Seven Little Monsters

Seven Little Monsters was a book by Maurice Sendak (of Little Bear and Where the Wild Things Are fame) that got a Animated Adaptation about a family of seven monsters and their mother. It was a part of the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch from 2000-2002, aired from 2003-2007 on YTV, and is currently being aired on Qubo since 2007.

Tropes used in Seven Little Monsters include:

• An Aesop: Every episode has one.
• Barefoot Funny Monsters: One, Five, and sometimes Three.
• Cast of Snowflakes: The monsters look completely different to one another, despite being septuplets.
• Disappeared Dad
• Dom Com
• Edutainment Show
• Friends To All Children: The monsters can often be found playing with human kids and offering them fun experiences due to their great sizes.
• Furry Female Mane: Both One and Six have human-like hair despite being furry (although Six's face isn't). Three also has a mop of human-like hair, however, as do Two and Seven (though they don't look furry).
• Gentle Giants: Quite literally.
• Half-Dressed Monsters: Three and Four. Three wears an oversized long sleeve while Four sports a yellow t-shirt and purple top hat.
• Improbable Species Compatibility: The monsters' mother is a human, so presumably their father is a monster - especially since their mother often points out that Two reminds her of him...
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Presumably the monsters' parents.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Two is Colin Mochrie and Four (and Five and Seven) are Lucius Heinous VII
• It's a Wonderful Plot: Inverted in "It's A Wonder-Four Life". Four wishes he didn't have siblings, and is shown a world where he is an only child and everything is about him. After what should have been a perfect day for him, he winds up feeling lonely, which makes him appreciate his siblings more.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: There's never been a full release of the series, and the episodes are incredibly hard to find online.
• Lions and Tigers and Humans, Oh My!: Except they're monsters instead of anthropomorphic animals.
• Literal-Minded: Several characters have moments of this.
• Our Monsters Are Different
• Slice of Life
• Title Theme Tune: Performed by Barenaked Ladies at that!
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: One and Six.
• Talking to Himself: Four, Five and Seven
• Unexplained Accent: Their mother is a Funny Foreigner, but the monsters speak clear English... Well, except Five.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Nobody bats an eyelid at a bunch of giagantic monsters running around.
• Who's on First?: Because their names are numbers, this happens rather frequently.
• You Are Number Six: The monsters are named from One to Seven.
