3 stars A cute little book about everyone’s favorite big red dog. The text in the book is very simple and easy to read. There are many vague comments in the narration (“He makes mistakes sometimes.”) that work well in combination with the pictures (fetching a police officer’s baton). Simple and fun, this is a…

5 stars I used to read this book all the time when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it. I remember sitting in my closet (where I stored my bookshelf for some reason) reading it and being slightly terrified that a vampiric Lagomorpha would jump out at me at any moment. I had a…

4 stars As Lawson clearly states in the beginning of this book, if you don’t like funny books about mental illness, do not read this book. Pretty simple. If you are looking for a serious discussion on mental health and how to “fix” yourself, look elsewhere. This is not that book. Now onto what this…

3 stars Overall, a good introduction to the fascinating person that is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is an interesting book that combines the non-fiction element of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s actual life with the pop culture phenomenon that is Notorious RBG. This is great, because it appeals to a younger audience who may otherwise know nothing…

3 stars A good collection of comics based on various fables. I read Chris Duffy’s Fairy Tale Comics right before this, which I think set the standards pretty high for this one. I loved the Fairy Tale collection. The artwork was beautiful (and often hilarious) and the stories were great. I did not enjoy this one as…

4 stars A fantastic collection of fairy tales in the form of comics. The book features various tales, from big ones from the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault to lesser known ones such as “The Small Tooth Dog”. I really enjoyed the various interpretations of the original tales. My favorite was Raina Telgemeier’s “Rapunzel”. Great…

4 stars An adorable adventure story filled with humor, suspense, and mystery. This is a great graphic novel. Written as a classic mystery story, with plenty of misdirection, this book takes the princess trope and turns it on its head. A sleuthing princess, an evil queen who isn’t all bad, and a punk rock fairy…

5 stars I had pretty high expectations for this book based on how much I loved the sampler I read. But… wow! This volume took my breathe away. Amazing! I’m actually stunned by how perfect it is. It’s almost like a Saga #1 for kids.I love the artwork, loved the characters, and loved the story….

3 stars A cute Elephant and Piggie book about trying new things and finding what works for you. It’s all about being an individual and also learning new ways to do something. I love this series. Each book is entertaining, but also includes an important life lesson. And Piggie and Elephant’s friendship is awe-inspiring. As…
