My, How Times Have Changed Gutierrez, Peter Picture Books Cartoons Library Materials Book Reviews Literature Reviews Bibliographies Resource Materials Fiction Childrens Literature Reading Materials Just a couple of years ago, it was tough to find good graphic novels for the K-4 crowd. Sure, there were some standout selections, such as Andy Runton's "Owly", Jimmy Gownley's "Amelia Rules!", and Jennifer and Matt Holm's "Babymouse", but they were lonely exceptions in a barren landscape. Things quickly changed when publishers realized that the same set that reads (and buys) picture books might also be drawn to graphic novels. Plus, what about the younger brothers and sisters of tween and teen manga readers or superhero fans? Weren't they also a potential new market for graphic novels? These days, children's book and comics publishers offer tons of graphic novels for young readers. In fact, now there are probably too many choices, which, of course, is a nice problem to have. To help librarians keep up with this explosion, the author has selected the cream of the recent crop, focusing on titles that have often been overlooked. This article presents his list of the recent titles of good graphic novels. |
