Adventures in Cartooning

A parent might reach for this book when their creative child loves comics and wants to make their own but feels overwhelmed or doesn't know where to start. It's also a perfect choice for a reluctant reader who is drawn to visual storytelling. This book is a clever how-to guide disguised as a funny fantasy adventure. A magical elf teaches a captured knight the fundamentals of cartooning, from panels to word balloons, so they can draw their way out of a dragon’s lair. It brilliantly builds creative confidence and shows that art is a powerful tool for problem-solving. Gentle, humorous, and highly engaging, it makes learning feel like pure play, making it an ideal resource for kids ready to turn their ideas into stories.
