Synopsis- Do you have trouble with your vowel sounds? Do you like to read funny comics? Do you like grandmothers swinging from fans? If so, these books are perfect for you! They are comics with simple words to encourage kids to read them and learn about the vowel sounds. Meet up with Gran and Crazy Bear in these teaching comic books!
What I Thought- These are great books. I really like the unique idea of using comics to teach kids about the vowel sounds. The mini-stories in the books are hilarious and crazy – in a good way, of course! My favorite(s) is in the Gran on a Fan book. Nell falls into a well early on, and nobody gets her out. The last few pages of the book? The return of Nell! I laughed out loud when I read that. Mr. Hodson’s illustrations are great attributes to the story, putting even more humor into the book. The cartoon feel will make kids smile. I can promise you that! I think that this book series will be a huge hit with kids. It’s perfect for reluctant readers, and for bedtimes, you just read one comic per night!
I give this series five out of five bookworms!
