This book would be an interesting read for children grade levels 3-5 who are interested in drawing, and/or monsters.

"Sketch Monsters:Escape of the Scribbles" is about a little girl named Mandy who has a hard time expressing her emotions (whether they be good or bad). When her older sister goes off to college, she gives Mandy a sketchbook and tells her to draw out all of her feelings onto the pages. Well, Mandy does exactly that. She began to illustrate her emotions by drawing monsters that represented her current feelings. One day, Mandy woke up to the realization that the monsters from her sketchbook had come to life, and escaped into the real world. With the help of a friendly monster, Mandy was forced to channel her inner most emotions in order to capture each monster.In the end, Mandy evolved into a completely different person after learning how to express her emotions. This was my ver first time reading this book, and I totally think that this is my favorite graphic novel. Even as adults, I still believe we need to practice some of the messaged portrayed through this novel. I will definitely be buying this book for my very own classroom.

I could use this book in my own classroom to teach to my students the importance of expressing your emotions and feelings. Mandy's character did a complete 180 after she began to relieve all of her built up emotions. I believe this is a super important lesson to teach to children of all ages.
