We haven’t gotten into graphic novels yet, but my neighbors kids love Dog Man and I hear it’s coming to broadway!

For little kids, we really like the Joe-Todd Stanton books and Narwhal and Jelly. Catstronauts are also a hit.

My daughter loves Raina T. And my my nine year old son is very into the Amulet series.

The Hilo Series is another one my kids love. And I like a graphic novel retelling of a classic.

Graphic novels are BIG at our house - and we are so lucky to live near the Ann Arbor comic arts fest. It’s one of our favorite days of the year! The fox recommendation looks so cute 🥰 We are big fans of Ben Hatke who writes graphic novels for a younger audience too.
