For both avid and reluctant readers, graphic novels are great for introducing compelling characters and a fun story. There’s Bug Scouts by Mike Lowery — a hilarious book about three friends Doug, Abby, and Josh on a mission to collect badges during their outdoor adventures. 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.
