Best Comics To Get Your Child To Read: Beginner Readers
During the 8 years I have been reading and promoting Graphic Novels I have also been raising my young kids and teaching them to read at home. While I have a number of comics and graphic novels in my house not all are suitable for their age group, even the so called All Ages Graphic Novels.
Comic publishing companies often assign this “Äll-Ages” term to comics that have a subject matter that children may be interested in, but the content may often not the best level for them, particularly in relation to violence. With the rising acceptance for violence in popular culture it is often difficult to ascertain the line where “action” becomes violence.
There are a multitude of poorly researched lists for recommended comics for young readers. Some listed titles are simply too wordy for those with an early grasp of vocabulary, but others depict scenes that may cause very young children sleepless nights.
With that in mind I put together my own list, for true beginner readers. The books below range in age recommendation from about 4-9. So, from the moment when a child first shows an interest in reading, or simply perusing books, up to about grade 4.
These books are aimed squarely at early readers or simply young children with impressionable minds and the following graphic novels and comics are not only guaranteed to be stress-free but are sure to engage.
1. Stinky by Eleanor Davis
2. Owly by Andy Runton (5 books in series)
3. Wind In the Willows (Michel Plessix’s adaptation)
4. Benny and Penny by Geoffrey Hayes
5. Babymouse by Jennifer Holm (12 in series)
6. Adventures In Cartooning by James Sturm
7. Yakari by Job and “Derib” (7 in series)
8. Otto’s Orange Day by Jay Lynch and Frank Cammuso
All are available via your local comic store or online retailers.
