I'm totally captivated by his unique visual style and his understated narratives.

Jeremy draws a monster into being (a la Harold and the Purple Crayon) and then must answer its demands until he figures out a way to send him packing. Though the real joy of this book is the monster's personality ("Draw me a hat. I'm going out!") it's also a story about Jeremy overcoming his shyness.
I loved it! The art is perfect (esp. the monster's big red hat).

Jeremy is the kind of kids that prefers to stay indoors and entertain himself. He isn't really worried about the other kids around. One day, he decides to draw a monster and he finds that the monster is a little high maintenance. Soon Jeremy is questioning whether or not having a sketched monster for a friend is a good idea.
The illustrations were cute and the idea was interesting, but I really wasn't sure about the message or the point of the ending. I think that the book has other related books/it's part of a series of sorts, but I don't know how it fits in with everything else. Overall, it was a fun read and should be considered.

Very cute. A good book about creating a monster to be a friend, and then discovering the problems that go with it. I don't believe the kids listening to the story would get all of the underlying humor but the adults listening would love it.
