These graphic novels by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee are a recent find from Everyday Reading and since we seem to enjoy many of the same books, I thought we'd give these a try. So far we've read Bink and Gollie as well as Bink and Gollie, Two for One. I'm sure we'll be requesting the third book (Bink and Gollie, Best friends forever) in the series from the library very soon.
Each book contains 3 short stories that are somewhat related, but are written so that you could read only 1 at a time. My 3 and 6 year old daughter love how funny these stories about 2 friends are. They get up to some crazy shenanigans and it's fun to see how things get resolved and how their friendship grows. These would be appropriate for a first or second grader to read independently as well. And since they are graphic novels, they might encourage a reluctant reader to pick up something new.
