Illustrated by
Matt Phelan.
Marilyn waits for her monster to find her, but the two discover each other when Marilyn rescues the flying creature by untangling its wings from tree branches. Softly rendered watercolor and pencil illustrations convey Marilyn's spirited, resourceful character while adding just the right touch of drama and energy to the story. Pair with Santat's The Adventures of Beekle at storytime.
