Just read the digital F&G and am once again, in love. Not only is the art charming and magical, but the story is sweet and hopeful. I want to take this book home and hug it! Thank you, Ben Hatke.

Thanks to Netgalley and First Second Books for the ARC of this in exchange for my honest review.
A sweet, gentle, found family of monsters that the whole family can enjoy. My kids are loving this series, and this third installment was no exception. The art is still gorgeous and the creatures varied. I love how they all work together when things look bleak. Definitely recommend this adorable series to all monster and creature lovers.

I didn't love this quite as much as the previous book in the series, but that's probably just because it didn't hit quite as close to home. It was still a very sweet story.

A beautiful continuation of the Julia's House series. Julia perseveres even when all seems lost and her kindness pays off for the creatures in her care as well as for herself. The art is enchanting.

Thanks to Netgalley and First Second Books for this lovely ARC.
I read Julia’s House Goes Home with my 7 year old daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed. The whimsical illustrations were the highlight of the story and we enjoyed taking our time and pointing out all of the magical creatures.
The message was positive and hopeful. It was a lovely picture book.
