Reviews

The illustrations are colorful and filled with action, sometimes carrying aspects of the story that don't come through in the text. . . .While these books are not comics, the words and pictures do work well together to tell a complete story. Each one has questions and writing prompts at the end to encourage readers to think more deeply about the book. Reading one of these books is not unlike watching a Saturday morning cartoon in terms of complexity. They are filled with action and a bit of characterization, and the colorful illustrations really complete the package.-- "SLJ's Good Comics for Kids blog"
