I love short, picture-book-like graphic novels. This was fun, even though I had no idea what the main character was

A great graphic novel recommendation for early readers. It's short, full of laughs, and the large text size and simple font is sure to welcome beginning and reluctant readers.

Cute "anti-war" message comic for younger readers. Like all of the books in the "Adventures in Cartooning series" this book includes how-to draw info on the inside covers. Only problem with this format is it means some of the how-to is blocked by required library material.

This was just adorable and so perfect for an early reader. It is fun yet not intimidating.

Our favorite hero is back! The knight, along with the trusty steed Edward, are off to warn the king that giant ogres are in the kingdom. They are sleeping now, but everyone knows that when they awake they will destroy everything in their path. But when the warning is delivered (once the king stops reading his comic book and pays attention), the plan seems to involve vegetables rather than weapons. The knight is confused, "We're making war, not a salad!" How can a bunch of garden gnomes, a knight, and a horse protect the kingdom from being crushed?
With the signature style and humor we've come to expect from the Adventures in Cartooning team, this story shows that there are always options in how we deal with a situation - even if the situation has sleeping ogres in it. The drawing guides on the end papers encourage young readers to try creating their own versions of the knight, Edward (my favorite is Edward as space explorer), the gnomes, and even the ogres. These easy to follow examples can guide the art-challenged and budding Picassos alike.
Fans of Shrek and other fantasy stories will appreciate this latest amusing adventure of a knight who is willing to go "the distant shores of the unknown" for king and country.
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.

I loved this story so much! This little graphic novel tells a story and give a lesson of being nice and understanding others that are different from you. I loved the "low blood sugar is no joke" line. Too cute. My daughter loved it too.
I received an advanced copy of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
