As an adult reader, this is so dumb and I’m not the intended audience at all

However, as a children’s librarian, I can see why kids love these. They’re silly and fun and the colors are bold and the drawings and goofy and approachable. There are also some interesting parts where the logistics behind comics and reading comics are explored, which I appreciate. These are great for kids and burgeoning readers
