Bedtime Story: Graphic Novel Review of Tom and Jerry: Grouchy Cat by Christopher Harbo & Illustrated by Scott Jeralds

 

Read for: Requested Review/ Netgalley/ Graphic Novel & LOVE Tom & Jerry

Synopsis: "Tom and Jerry are back in an  all-new series of wordless graphic novels for the youngest learners. With simple, easy-to-follow panels, this series develops visual literacy, storytelling skills, and prediction abilities in prereaders and early readers alike. Best of all, these age-appropriate stories are chock-full of Tom and Jerry laughs and surprises that will encourage readers to revisit them again and again."

My Review:  I can't tell you how thrilled I am that Tom and Jerry are making a comeback. Munchkin loves watching the classic cartoons and Tom and Jerry is his all time favorite. I loved that this illustration style is still along the lines of the originals, but the modern elements are added in to appeal to this younger generation. It was a great modernization to revitalize this classic story of cat and mouse. This images are bright and bold, and being a wordless graphic novel it can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. This is definitely a graphic novel that will be added to our shelf and I can already hear Munchkin's laughter as he flips through the pages.

My Rating: I am so thrilled to see this coming out, it brought me back to my childhood and will be a wonderful way to connect with Munchkin. I give it a rating of Four Paws!

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley, the above is my honest review and opinion.
