Why This Book

All TOON books are leveled to help you match books to your child’s reading level. They also include helpful notes on “how” to read a graphic novel. These notes can be very helpful.

The book fair at your child’s school may feature graphic novels that are not the highest quality. The stories are not the best and can portray behaviors we don’t want kids to model. The illustrations and writing are also sometimes weak. TOON Books are both high quality AND fun to read. Include TOON Books in your child’s reading so they discover and can appreciate and enjoy wonderful graphic novels.
