GNs for Beginners
A TRIP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD WITH MOUSE by Frank Viva. Toon Books 2012.
Toon Books are comic books/graphic novels for emerging readers. Here readers can journey with Mouse as he and his owner sail to the bottom of the world. There is much to be seen but Mouse is eager to arrive and then to return home. <660>
BENNY AND PENNY IN LIGHTS OUT!by Geoffrey Hayes. Toon Books, 2012.
When the sun sets, it is time to read. But Benny has left his favorite cap in the playhouse. The dark is a little frightening. How will the two deal when the lights are out and the noises and shadows are scary? <661>
MAYA MAKES A MESS by Rutu Modan. Toon Books, 2012.
Maya's manners are atrocious. She eats with her hands, slurps, burps, and is generally an embarrassment. Her parents warn her that if she were to behave this way in front of the Queen, it would be the end of her. However, the Queen rather admires Maya's lack of convention when it comes to eating. <662>
