PreSchool-Grade 2-Marlon from The Last Noo-Noo (Candlewick, 1995) returns in another humorous monster adventure. He works hard to fit in with the local gang, but they "keep changing the game," staying one step ahead of him. Marlon finally gives up and creates his own brand of fun-with a wading pool full of warm water. When the neighborhood kids want to join in, he keeps a cool head-"I'll think about it." Vivid pen and colored-pencil illustrations of monsters with expressive faces accompany a solid story about acceptance and fitting in, with the young protagonist discovering that he has the power to create his own good times.
