sammygee 's review for:
Marilyn's Monster
by Michelle Knudsen
All the kids in Marilyn's class have a monster and when hers shows no signs of finding her, she takes matters into her own hands and goes to find her monster.
This book reminded me of Beekle and Julia's House for Lost Creatures in the best way. The monsters aren't scary, they're quirky and kind of cuddly. The rise and fall in kid emotions is spot on and the landscape of Marilyn's world is simply beautiful (certainly makes a reader want to live there!)
Watercolor and pencil illustrations perfectly complement the softness of the story and creates just the right sort of journey required of a girl seeking a monster.
Highly recommended for sharing with PreK-2.
