Great Graphic Novels for Kidstl dr Heres the list. And heres a no frills printable list. Just titles, authors, and ISBNs. For a couple years now Ive wanted to do this list. More than any other request, I have people ask what graphic novels would be suitable for their children. And this is one of the questions I most want to answer. After all, if you spark a childs interest in the medium with good, solid storytelling and non exploitative narrative, what better chance of converting them to the medium when theyre older, rightTrain up a child in the way he should go even when he is old he will not depart from it. And all that. But the problem is its a tough question to answer. Part of the reason its taken me as long as it has to produce even this beginning of a list is that different kids are different kids and different parents are different parents. What I mean by that is that a book suitable to one seven year old might be too mature for another ten year old. And one parent might find no issue in, say, the rather chaste depictions of violence in Tintin while another might be very concerned with a comics story that makes free use of gunplay. Ormie The Pig' title='Ormie The Pig' />Basically, any list of recommendations for children will be founded on a list of caveats a mile deep. And really, I dont want to bother with any of that. I just want to recommend some good books. The Rules. Still weve got to start somewhere and I do want to make this list as widely useful as possible. So with that, heres what Ill propose. Ill divide this into four categories comics for 1 pre k, 2 lower elementary, 3 upper elementary, and 4 junior high. Ideally, Ill later add in recommendations for high schoolers as well. I feel less of a rush here because many high schoolers can read most of the books that I regularly recommend to adults. These categories wont be a perfect fit for any particular child save for the one existing in my imagination. My daughters only three and Im told my taste in reading in elementary school was. So with that in mind, parents will want to take my recommendations and run them through whatever filters govern their own households and mindsets. Reading to Kids. Obviously, reading to kids can make far more advanced books accessible to a younger set. Im currently reading Bone to my three year old daughter I wrote this sentence in 2. Its an epic fantasy adventure with themes meant for more mature readers. Theres a lot of danger and several notable deaths. Therere limbs lost and even a tongue gets clawed off. Left to her own, the story would probably give her nightmares. But because I am reading it to her, I can control somewhat how shell interpret elements. I dont lie to her and pretend the dead people are just sleeping, but I help her not to dwell overlong on those things and I play up the humour in other spots and am able to help her identify with the books heroes. So if you see a good book in a more mature category, dont feel as if its out of reach necessarily. Just play a part in your childs discovery of that book. Youll probably both have a lot of fun. Jav Uncensored Hina Aizawa. A Final Note to Parents. Dont treat graphic novels as a gateway drug to get kids to read real books. Comics are a medium of their own and while theres some crossover appeal, your goal should be to inculcate in your children an appreciation for quality in our cultural artifacts. If they get the bug for good comics, they may well begin pursuing the most literary and worthwhile of the mediumjust as if they caught the bug for good novels, theyd be likely to pursue the literary giants of eras past and present. Graphic novels have their own things to say and their own way of saying those things. Enjoy them for what they are and seek out the stuff that challenges you and your children to grow in empathy, understanding, and knowledge. Also, fun stuff is fine too Table of Contents.
