Come on a playdate to a magical house in this wildly imaginative easy reader comic!Have you ever been to a house with a Gem Room? Or a Bubble Room? Or a Yarn Room? No? Then come with Mia to her friend Pie' s home, where everyone wears costumes, cacti grow up to the ceiling, and there' s a hedge mage in the back yard! Critically acclaimed comics artist Laura Knetzger pens a sweetly inventive story for beginning readers that not only introduces the senses and basic sense words ("shiny," "soft," "fuzzy"), but also primes children for their first visits to friends' homes--and encourages them to appreciate the differences between their family and others. I Like to Read Comics are created for kids just learning to read. Sequential art and simple text--and a powerful relationship between the two--are perfect for developing readers.
An engaging friendship story full of imaginative details for young explorers. --Kirkus ReviewsA cotton-candy color palette and abundant detail add a touch of whimsy without overwhelming the panels, turning Mina' s visit into a wondrous sensory experience. Readers new to comics will be well cared for with carefully arranged panels of various types, along with intuitively placed speech and thought bubbles, plus a lesson on being able to see the magic in your home. A cute and colorful comics primer. --Booklist
