But, overall, it has a sweet message of making friends and staying true to yourself even if you think others might be disappointed in you or find you odd.
A few of the choices the characters made weren't ones I would want my kids to emulate (for example, snatching someone's letter and running off with it or sneaking off to a cave by yourself) and I'm a bit puzzled by the final two pages. It's like Totoro bunny-cats living in The Shire -) and the other characters are really fun and creative, too (love the tiger!) The beginning seemed a bit confusing with so many character introductions but it soon evened out. The characters and setting are super cute. (Recommendations welcome for graphic novels suitable for elementary ages!) We really enjoyed this book. My boys were super drawn to this and started reading it as soon as they saw it in the stack from the library, so I'm going to work on bringing more graphic novels into our home so my personal reading tastes don't dictate theirs. Graphic novels were never my thing, but after The Tea Dragon Society practically jumped into my arms at the library last year (I couldn't resist that cover, and ended up loving the series!) I've decided to explore a bit more. (Most of them are! Which means there are a lot more books to read here than first meets the eye!) I hope you find this list useful as well as lots of fun.I'm just dipping my toe into this genre so I don't have a strong basis of comparison.
However, if shorter (and generally lower reading level) books are what you are looking for you can check out this list here.įor your reference, after the title and author of each book I have listed how many pages it is, what age group it is recommended for and whether or not the title is part of a series. These books will give budding readers a real sense of accomplishment when they are finished. (With the exception of one that is just under at 96 pages and one that is 64 pages.) I wanted the books on this list to be transitional for beginning-intermediate readers not just in content and text, but in length. In addition, I looked for books that were over 100 pages in length. You’ll also notice that these books arefocused on the 4-10 year old crowd with ages 6-9 probably being the main “sweet spot”. You’ll notice that the books start with ones that have a much more simple plot line and easier vocabulary to more complex plots and text. I have them sorted by recommended age from youngest to oldest based on their listed, geared audience. The list is meant to be great books for the transition from beginning to intermediate readers. This list is full of over 20 that we personally love. They are entertaining, fun and all around awesome. Graphic novels are some of the most popular books in our home right now.
