Cat Kid Comic Club: Perspectives: A Graphic Novel (Cat Kid Comic Club #2): From the Creator of Dog Man
Cat Kid Comic Club is back in session in this groundbreaking graphic novel narrative by Dav Pilkey, the worldwide bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator of Dog Man.
Flippy, Molly, Li'l Petey, and twenty-one baby frogs each have something to say. Naomi and Melvin don't see eye to eye and Poppy perceives the world differently than her siblings. Will the baby frogs figure out how to work together and appreciate one another's point of view -- both inside and outside the classroom?
The shenanigans are nonstop and the baby frogs' minicomics are funny and full of heart. Creating stories within a story, author and illustrator Dav Pilkey uses a variety of techniques -- including acrylic paints, colored pencils, Japanese calligraphy, photography, collage, gouache, watercolors, and much more -- to portray each frog's perspective. The kaleidoscope of art styles, paired with Pilkey's trademark storytelling and humor, fosters creativity, collaboration, independence, and empathy. Readers of all ages will relish this joyful graphic novel adventure.

My son loves Dog man books as well as captain underpants. He has the whole collection of both so having a new comic series started with cat kid is very exciting. We have been waiting months for the release of book#2 and it just arrived. I was so disappointed to see that it arrived damaged with the corners of the book being twisted and bend. I want to return it but I’m concerned if I reorder a new one it won’t arrive on time for Christmas.
Super libro mis hijos tienen toda la colección les encanta.
Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!! What’s not to like about Cat Kid Comic Club? Great stories. Super frogs. Wonderful Flippy. Could use a few more poop jokes, still five stars. This review was approved by my children.
