Title: Nursery Rhyme Comics
Author: Multiple, Introduction by Leonard S. Marcus
Illustrator: Individual for each nursery rhyme
Publisher: First Second, 2011
ISBN: 978-1-59643-600-8
Summary: This is a very unique book. It takes many of the nursery rhymes that all children know and turn them into comic strips for children to read. This book is unique also in that it has multiple authors and illustrators for each nursery rhyme.
Evaluation: I really enjoyed this book. It took the classic nursery rhymes that children are used to and switched them up a bit by putting them into the comic strip form. Some of the nursery rhymes are easier to follow than others. Some have text and illustrations all over the place, and it is hard to tell where to read and in what order to read the text. Overall though, I think that the book has the nice touch of taking something all children know well and putting a new, different twist on the topics.
Rating: I would give this graphic novel 4/5 stars.
I like the concept of putting nursery rhymes to a graphic novel. These are songs or poems that we are accustomed to growing up. I feel that illustrations add a whole new dimension to revitalize them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for children. This version gives them a visual along with the text.
