My Review: This is a fun introduction to the world of comics. It is a level 3 reader and chances are if your young reader is at this level, they can also be enjoying comic books. I like how there is a lot of history in this book but it isn't overly stuffed with it. The history is also made fun and included some facts even I didn't know. This is a fun way to include non-fiction books into a young readers library too. At the end of the book there are also fun ideas to get them started making their own comics too.
My Rating: This was such a fun book, I am glad I recently discovered this series of History of Fun Stuff. I think a lot of young readers will enjoy not only this book but the whole series. I give it a rating of Four Paws.
