Adventures in Cartooning: How to Turn Your Doodles Into Comics (Graphic Novel)


Adventures in Cartooning: How to Turn Your Doodles Into Comics
by James Sturm

It's hard to summarize this graphic novel in anything more than one or two sentences. A girl at the beginning wants to learn how to make comics, but she doesn't think she can. So, the little elf decides to show her. First enters the knight and his trusty stead and the elf takes them along on adventure and points out how panels and other aspects of cartooning works.

This book was hilarious! I was cracking up at the jokes that pretty much make up the whole book. I love the way I learned something as well as enjoying the book. I don't know much about cartooning lingo, but I learned some basics from this book. Definitely a fun read. I think any fantasy reader who likes graphic novels will get a kick out it.. c'mon a fairy, a knight in shining armor, and a dragon? Definitely some winning characters right there.

Recommended for 3rd grade and up.

  2. Thank you for posting this! I had never heard of it. My son is in 2nd grade and makes his own comics/stories/characters endlessly. He will love this!
