Book Review: Cat on the Run (Episode 2: Cucumber Madness!) by Aaron Blabey

 

I have fallen in love with graphic novels and the first Cat on the Run book was part of that, so I am very excited to be bringing you the review of the second book in the series: Cat on the Run, Episode 2: Cucumber Madness!

Below, I've popped the trailer for the first book to give you a little insight into this great graphic novel.

 

Book Review: Magic Pickle and the Roots of Doom by Scott Morse

Now, this is a slightly different book for me to be reading and reviewing but I am very aware of the ever-growing popularity of graphic novels for younger readers. Over the past two years, I have really noticed a love of graphic novels growing in school. This has been especially noticeable in Years 5 and 6.  In fact, in the class I just finished the year with there were at least five children who spent the year working through my personal and school collection of graphic novels, swapping them amongst themselves when they'd read a good one and having a chat about them during our "book blather" sessions. Some of them even took them outside at lunchtime because they wanted to keep reading. I love that!

This new graphic novel, which was released two weeks ago, was kindly gifted to me by Scholastic.

This book was written and illustrated by the incredible Scott Morse. He has created other amazing books but I was amazed to find out he works as a story supervisor at Pixar. Scott Morse has worked on films including Ratatouille, Cars and - a personal favourite - Wall-E. He has also worked for Cartoon Network, Disney and Nickelodeon. What a resume!

So, let's take a look at this graphic novel: Magic Pickle and the Roots of Doom...

Book Review: Nina Peanut is Amazing by Sarah Bowie

I am so excited to be talking about this book on my blog today!

I was kindly gifted this book at the start of the month ahead of its release yesterday. First of all: WHAT A COVER! Secondly, I read this entire graphic novel in one sitting and it is brilliant.

Let me tell you more...

Book Review: Stick Boy by Paul Coomey

I'm back with another book review for you and today I'm talking about Stick Boy by Paul Coomey.

Now, this isn't my usual choice of book but when I was offered the chance to read it early and review it, I decided to give it a go. It looked fun and like a good book that I could share with the children at school if they wanted to read something a little different for a change.

Although I was sent this book by Little Tiger, I want to say that the following thoughts and opinions are all my own and I am in no way influenced by the fact that I was sent a copy of this book.

Now, onto the review...
