kylasedai 's review for:

Marilyn's Monster by Michelle Knudsen
3.0

Listened to it on the Julie's Library podcast - very cute!
It reminded me a bit of [b:The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend|18295821|The Adventures of Beekle The Unimaginary Friend|Dan Santat|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1424308067l/18295821._SX50_.jpg|25778595], but it's definitely its own work. But I liked the idea of everybody getting their very own monster, as well as the idea that sometimes you have to take things into your own hands. I also liked the author's note in the podcast about her intent to show that there can be more than one "right way" to do things.
