I received a free ARC from First Second Books through NetGalley
5 Stars
This story starts out with Julia's house coming to town and settling down by the sea. How adorable is that!? Once Julia is settled down, she realizes she needs some company. She makes a sweet sign displaying "Julia's House for Lost Creatures" and the creatures start rolling in. As you can imagine, a large number of random creatures can be a bit chaotic. She quickly figures out how to get them under control. From there, she runs into another slight problem and then gets her happy ending.
Told in a slight graphic (comic book style) format, this is an adorable picture book. The illustrations are beautiful and fit the story well. The story itself does a good job of making somewhat scary creatures not really seem so scary. The knocking on the door gives this story a little extra fun for read-aloud story times. I really can't wait to try this one out, probably close to Halloween.
