Early Graphix Chapter Books
For both avid and reluctant readers, graphic novels are great for introducing compelling characters and a fun story. There’s Bug Scouts #2: Camp Out! by Mike Lowery — a hilarious book about three friends Doug, Abby, and Josh going camping overnight. The text bubble format and supporting images make for the perfect graphic novels for beginning readers. Your child will not only build key literacy skills like reading comprehension, but also learn lessons about identity and inclusion from this sweet story.
If your child is a candy enthusiast and enjoys reading about animal friends, be sure to check out the graphic novel series Bunbun & Bonbon. A bubbly bunny and a fancy candy become best friends, and create adorable memories along the way. For instance, in Captain Bun & Super Bonbon, the duo discover their inner superhero abilities when a storm ruins their picnic. The series highlights important social-emotional lessons, like resilience, in a graphic novel format that young readers will adore.
Plus, younger readers will delight in graphic novels with unforgettable characters and silly jokes. Graphic novels like The Bailey School Kids: Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots and Squidding Around #3: Prank You Very Much are ideal for second and third graders. Browse these popular graphic novels and support your child in the next step of their reading journey!
