Toon Books

I first saw this new series, Toon Books, at PLA - in fact, we even got to hear the mastermind behind the series, Francoise Mouly, speak. I have been "hooked" ever since. I just got a box of them to look over and review and they are WONDERFUL! What a great idea - beginning reading in comic book format - I LOVE IT!! Why in the world has this not been done before!?!?  They are wonderful - the illustrations are fun and the stories are not lame (as beginning readers often are!!).    My favorite?  Jack and the Box - but hey, I'm always a sucker for a good "box" book!!
