I like this sweet story of a girl and boy and monster befriending one another. Although the palate and drawings are bleak, I find the story hopeful.

I had to take a star away for the cliff-hanger ending. That is not cool, Soo! We barely get going and it stops! I will say that this is an absolutley great beginning of a story. Jellaby, though mostly silent and strange, is such a lovable character. I just wanted to reach through the book and hug him. The two kid characters are both troubled, but not in totally obvious ways. I'm excited to read the next book to see how the story unfolds.

This book is definitely geared more for avid (kid) fans of cars or racing than just a casual reader. Although I enjoy Kean Soo's illustration style, the story was a bit more heavy on car specifics than I personally would prefer.

Note: I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley.

While it's clear Jellaby: Monster in the City is not the first book in the Jellaby series, it is still possible to follow the story without having read the previous book.

Jellaby's great facial expressions make him/her an endearing character, and the simple purple/pink/orange color scheme is eye-catching without being overwhelming. As other reviewers have pointed out, there's a strong similarity between Kean Soo's artwork in the Jellaby series and [a:Bill Watterson|13778|Bill Watterson|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1374016829p2/13778.jpg]'s classic Calvin & Hobbes series. If you like Watterson's art, you're likely to enjoy Kean Soo's art, too.

As for the story itself, it's a bit sad and creates more questions than it answers. There is an ending--this is not a cliffhanger book--but the ending is somewhat ambiguous and definitely leaves open the possibility for a third book.

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley.
