All Age comic books for March 28

A new week means new comic book day and this week has a nice selection of all age comic books that will appeal to kids as young as 5 years old. First up-where is your closest comic books store? Just visit the Comic Shop Locator, type in your zip code and you’ll find one that much closer than you realize it. In the podcast we’ll chat about two different boxed sets that will really target girls in elementary school and up, Narwhal Peanut Butter and Jelly, Thea Silton and more.

Looney Tunes #242

Looney Tunes is a great monthly all age comic book that is cheap, only $2.99 and funny. Go to any elementary school library and you’ll find a subscription to Looney Tunes. Each issue has between two to four stories that’ll vary in length and feature a variety of classic Warner Bros. characters. Issue 242 of Looney Tunes has Ralph and Sam on the cover. Do you remember Sam, the sheep dog who constantly thwarts Sam, the dog, who suspiciously looks like Wile E Coyote? I forgot about them too, that’s another benefit of this comic book.

Lumberjanes #48

Are you a girl in upper elementary school who hasn’t heard of Lumberjanes? This monthly comic book from Boom! Studios has science-fiction, adventure, friendship and more-all at camp. In issue 48 of Lumberjanes the girls start camp newsletter and the horoscopes are more accurate than some campers care for. Lumberjanes is great reading, but can also be a gateway reading opportunity. This is one title that kids will enjoy and parents won’t mind them reading it.

Narwhall Peanut Butter and Jelly, book 3

I volunteered at the school book fair the other week. One of the most popular series that kids were interested in purchasing was one of the Narwhall and Jelly books. This series from Ben Clanton is deserving of its popularity and is possibly one of the first graphic novels that kids will read. What’s so great about this series is that younger readers are able to read it. They’re loaded with sight words so that those kindergarten students can practice, but it’s funny enough, with some advanced vocabulary that older kids will want to read it too.
