Monsuno Strikes Again! Below is an exciting instructional guide detailing how to plan the ultimate “Monsuno” party! Millions of years ago, “Monsuno,” a living DNA, hitched a ride to Earth in a concentrated asteroid pocket. When it landed on Earth, the impact drove the dinosaurs into extinction. The “Monsuno” DNA lay dormant until a scientist named Jeredy Suno activated it, sending a rippling wave of movement back into action. By doing so, Jeredy may have reignited the end of the world but he also created its salvation, the “Monsuno” monsters. Now, it’s up to his son Chase to learn the secrets of “Monsuno” and help save the world from impending destruction. www.yousendit.com/download/QlVnSU5DTk01UjZVbDhUQw and www.yousendit.com/download/QlVnSU5FNXZFc0pjR05Vag
