This is not our first stab at a cartooning guidebook.But this one is really,really good. And it's funny, which means my often-serious son... laughs! when he reads it.Give it a try -- help your child see the humor all around and convey it visually. The book is good for teaching the "grammar" of comics, and giving your child lots of ideas for practicing. It even discusses pacing and panel size. It's full of helpful tips, including the "magic if." There are lots of pointers and starters given for your artist to see things in new ways. I'm impressed.
