A Parent's Guide to the Best Kids' Comics!
Just in time for summer reading ...
My brother, Matt, and I get asked a lot to suggest graphic novels for kids. Luckily for comic readers everywhere, Snow Wildsmith and Scott Robins have done all the heavy lifting with their amazing new book:
A lot of our house favorites are in the guide including Owly, Benny & Penny, Courtney Crumrin, Elephant & Peggie, and the beloved Long Tail Kitty. Comics are broken out by grade level with art excerpts so you get a real sense of style. I think this book will go a long way in helping adults choose comics for (and maybe even with!) the kids in their lives.

Get ready for summer vacation, because SQUISH: THE POWER OF THE PARASITE is now available in stores!
School's out! Everyone's favorite amoeba is headed to summer camp! But instead of SUPER AWESOME FUN, Squish's summer is turning out to be SUPER AWESOME TERRIFYING! For one thing, Squish can't swim.
