We check out all kinds from the library. Doonesbury, Far Side, For
Better or Worse. Our favorite for the entire family is Calvin and
Hobbes. I love the snowmen and little bits of Shakespeare.

Another great series that combines comic books and a chapter book is
Captain Underpants. I found the comics helped my now 10 year learn to
read. They are filled with words spelled incorrectly yet the way they
sound like they should be spelled. Steven made several of his own
comics inspired by this series. If your child enjoys the books, check
out the website. It includes a comic book autobiography. The author
was told many times by his principal and several teachers that he
would be a failure in life. He has written several other series for
preschoolers that are very funny. My youngest enjoys his Ricky
Ricotta series.
