This is the busiest week for all age comic books and graphic novels in 2020. From pre-k kids, crawlers, board books and all the way through high school there are some great comic books and graphic novels to entertain and educate readers. We say ‘educate’ in the most entertaining of ways. First up is Science Comics: Crows, which is an excellent, non-fiction graphic novel for middle school students and up. It’s funny, factual and will have kids wanting to read about these smart birds with a bad reputation. A slightly easier read is Journey Under The Arctic. This graphic novel is based in fact, but has a story element that some kids could mistake for non-fiction. It does a nice job at teaching kids about some of the animals that live in one of the coldest places on Earth. There are also lots of great all age comic books like Looney Tunes, Captain Marvel, Disney Princesses and more. In the podcast we’ll talk about all of these plus Snoopy First Beagle in Space, some great What Is The Story books and a couple others.
