The trilogy of picture books about Julia's peripatetic House for Lost Creatures ends with this title, in which kindness begets kindness.In trilogy opener Julia's House for Lost Creatures (2014), Julia, who presents White, opens her home to a world of phantasmagorical creatures. In sequel Julia's House Moves On (2020), the house literally goes on a journey, taking the home and all its inhabitants with it. And now at last, the house has found the Perfect Spot to settle down. With the first two books, Julia's openness and kindness lead to kerfuffles and conundrums. In this final title, the house plunges down a craggy mountain and is left in total ruins, with only the sign, a doorknob, and the front door remaining. Hatke's lavish watercolor illustrations are magnetic and spirited, as the menagerie of curious and strange creatures are strewn all over the land. What to do? The answer lies in Julia's open and unquestioning acceptance of every creature found on the pages. A unicorn? "We'll make room." A cemetery full of ghosts? "Just follow me." Even Julia's optimism crumbles when she finds she's led creature friends both old and new to a junkyard instead of a home. But her unfailing welcome to all, even when it leads to quandaries, is a rare treasure, bringing friendship and support back to her in spades. (This book was reviewed digitally.)Imaginative readers will pore over the illustrations for much longer than one reading. (Picture book. 3-7)
