Cute! Fun! And original like. I didn't realize this turned into a series and I'm excited to see the two other books and hope there will be more. Loved the art, both the characters and the backgrounds. Sure this is silly, but it's fun silly. But it was very readable and I think it'd hold up to repeated reads. There's just so much to like in this one. It's not deep, well it does kind of a trust-the-world message to it.

I think Ben Hatke may well be one of my favorite authors for children. He writes such fiercely independent little girls! This one focuses on the importance of teamwork to accomplish household chores and to finding solutions to problems by asking for what you need. It is charming and funny. The art as ever is a delight.

Julia lives in a house by the sea, feeling lonely she posts a sign for lost creatures. Creatures of all shapes and sizes appear and chaos ensues. Beautiful illustrations, an interesting concept, and fun characters make this book a fun read.

Why am I picking this book?

Well isn't it obvious?

The critters are cute, the story is cute, and Julia solves all her problems... until the next one at least.

I love Ben Hatke's drawings, and they shine in this picture books, that also has a simple story and the message that everyone should do their part to help out!

Z gave one thumb up. Five stars from me. It's neat how the author incorporates some panels, like a soft intro to graphic novels. Adorable story.
