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. ( )

Cute, but it didn't feel like it had enough going on to end where it ended... It was like reading a more involved single issue. I'm guessing it would read better if the first two volumes were combined. ( )

Very cute art that reminded me a bit of Calvin and Hobbes, but the story was just quiet enough that I wasn't hugely invested. I may read the next in the series anyway since it's so short to see if it grows on me a bit. ( )

Jellaby is about a lonely young girl who meets a strange, purple creature who is really quite friendly. What would you do to help a new friend? Even if he isn't human? ( )
