We are adding to our graphic novel collection for kids hoping to entice young readers to perk up their summer reading. According to an expert panel of presenters from Booklist Online, the graphic or cartoon novel is perfect for early readers because the illustrations are non-verbal support for the story line. For several years, Helen O. has grown our Young Adult/Teen collection of this interesting format but because of some more mature content, Mindy has been less than enthusiastic. We think this crop of new ‘toon’ books are suitable for young readers and we are actually getting the hang of reading the frames and enjoying the stories. Come check them out.
