“"This bright and cheerful wordless graphic novel tells the story of a young boy who draws a (not scary) monster, who appears in his window. The boy chases the creature into the nearby woods in a delightful game of hide-and-seek as the monster takes ever more silly approaches to its disguises. Without using a single written word, Nordling and Roberts manage to convey the plot and the characters' range of emotions, and the enthusiasm of a young child on an adventure bubbles over in the cartoon-style artwork. Though this title is the same length as the average picture book, in terms of content it is more substantial and will be a good tool to engage struggling readers who want to move past books for younger readers. VERDICT: This charming addition to early graphic novel shelves will appeal to children making their first forays into comics."School Library Journal”
"[A] gentle, adorable adventure. . . . [T]he bright color palette is sure to please its young audience."—Booklist
