(3) K-3 In this sequel to Jeremy Draws a Monster, the boy learns of the monster's imminent return, so he enlists some kids to draw monster "friends" to placate him. In the book's conclusion, Jeremy admits his ulterior motive: his ploy earned friends for him, too. McCarty hints at Jeremy's loneliness in his sensitive illustrations set in an adult-free anonymous city.
