On The Seventh Day of Nerd Book Giving...

My (most excellent) Comic Book Friends suggested to me...

Graphic Novel Adventures to Read 

Want a sure-fire way to get your child to read?  Offer them entertaining graphic novels.  Graphic novels are generally longer than comic books, covering the arc of a complete story a.k.a. enhanced visual books that still develop vocabulary and reading skills while offering all the elements of great story telling.

Check out these new clever titles for your gift-giving solutions:


Bird & Squirrel on the Run (Ages 7 and up)

Bird and Squirrel outwit Cat and become best friends in this zany adventure. Squirrel is afraid of his own shadow. Bird doesn't have a care in the world. And Cat wants to eat Bird and Squirrel. Of course, he'll have to catch them first, and that's not going to be easy.

Drama (Ages 10 and up)

Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible singer. Instead she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget.











Cardboard (Ages 10 and up)

When cardboard creatures come magically to life, a boy must save his town from disaster. 

Cam's down-and-out father gives him a cardboard box for his birthday and he knows it's the worst present ever. So to make the best of a bad situation, they bend the cardboard into a man-and to their astonishment, it comes magically to life. But the neighborhood bully, Marcus, warps the powerful cardboard into his own evil creations that threaten to destroy them all!
