Donna DesRoches on 17 Mar 10I've talked to some elementary librarians who are a reluctant to order many graphic novels because they're afraid there aren't any good ones for our younger students. Another issue is whether or not graphic novels are important or useful for our students' literacy development. I'm going to tackle both of these issues here.

Amy Williams on 18 Mar 10We recently purchased a graphic novel series called BabyMouse. We can't keep it on the shelf. Boys and girls in grade 2 read it as well as girls in grade 5. They haven't been read by anyone else because the students just rotate them through their class. All the art is done in pink white and black. I think its a good example of a graphic novel good for younger students.
