Though the ending comes a bit abruptly, this appealing, candy-colored treat offers a winning friendship and gentle encouragement: “It takes a lot of practice to be brave.” Ages 5–8. Monster Friends Vandorn, Kaeti, Despite their differences, monster neighbors Reggie and Emily make the perfect pair of explorers, and with a map to make, a beach party to plan, and a sea monster to find, Reggie will have to learn to talk about his feelings and let new friends in. Monster Friends is a lighthearted graphic novel intended for 6-11 year-old readers, focusing on the whimsical adventures of two creatures named Reggie and Emily. Vandorn effectively employs a pastoral seaside landscape to slow the story’s rhythm as well as visually work through Reggie’s internal struggles and growing confidence. The color palette is clear and bright, and the panels’ irregular outlines enliven their carefully composed, easily legible interiors. Despite their differences, these two monsters make the perfect pair of explorers. With comic enthusiasm, Emily helps introduce Reggie to new adventures and new friends-sweet-faced beasts including tigers and owls, and a golden glowing sea serpent (characters introduced in Vandorn’s Crabapple Trouble also make cameo appearances). On his own for the summer while caring for his cousins’ house, he reluctantly enters a conversation with Emily, a gregarious rabbit-like creature who is also a good listener.
