- Brief retellings of Grimm fairy tales as comics. Humourous and a little wicked, these are not as sanitized as common versions parents tell their preschoolers. The book includes a mix of popular and lesser known stories. Some episodes feel too abrupt, but this should appeal to young readers in elementary school who like their stories quick and just a little dark.
Binky to the Rescue by Ashley Spires
- In Binky the Space Cat's second tale, the eponymous kitty must survive an adventure into outer space (outside his house). His companion and copilot (a mouse toy) has fallen out a window and is in danger from aliens (wasps). Binky is a hilariously delusional cat and readers will enjoy his misunderstandings and imagined dangers in a very normal home environment. Spires has created some fun comics for new readers to devour.
