Marilyn's Monster by Michelle Knudsen
5.0
A splendid story. Marilyn is waiting and waiting for something that all the other kids seem to have: their own monsters. She has no fabulous creature to keep her company, to play with, to keep her from being scared at night. But everyone tells Marilyn she must simply be patient and wait. But Marilyn, determined, sets out to find HER special creature.
The story works on so many levels. It's a picture book about kids who have monsters for friends. It's a fantasy about companionship. It's--perhaps--an allegory about finding friendship or your special talent or your place in the world.
