Julia's House Goes Home by Ben Hatke was a lovely installment in this picture book series about a girl who cares for all manner of fantastical creatures by letting them stay in her house. This one felt the most like a conclusion to the characters' story, but we can always hope for more. ;-) Hatke has a way of making you feel for the characters in such a short amount of pages, and most of them not saying a word. All of these books have Hatke's charming and whimsical art and are completely heartfelt and heartwarming, making you want to cuddle up with your own family, "blood" or "found" alike. Loved this and so grateful to have read it early!

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.
