From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—The Knight and his horse, Edward, enjoy jumping from great heights into the lake below, but the Knight is soon entranced with the idea of flying after a chance encounter with a gryphon. The "Adventures in Cartooning" cast returns in a medieval story told through sequential art, reminding readers of the loyalty of a good friend and that sometimes taking a ride on a gryphon isn't all it's cracked up to be. Much of the art is composed of simple shapes drawn in a thick line, producing characters that stand out and can be easily drawn or replicated by young readers. The story progresses quickly through the paneled art and the speech bubbles are illustrated to emphasize the emotion conveyed in the dialogue. The character design is great and the art works hand-in-hand with the text to move the story forward. VERDICT The memorable tale will be enjoyed by a wide range of readers time and again.—Matthew C. Winner, Ducketts Lane Elementary School, Elkridge, MD

Haagen This is a sweet little book with simple yet ingenious drawings and a short but telling story. Mr. Sturm has a real knack for cartooning, all the pages are a feast for little eyes and his characters are very likeable and very true, even if you never really meet a gryphon of your own. As the book points out, sometimes your best friends are the ones closest to you !

PSA: Gryphons aren't so Great By Melaina Lara I have not seen a Adventures in Cartooning book before, but I could not resist picking this up because of the title alone. Gryphons aren't so Great, just sounds like the perfect public service announcement for kids. (And it kinda is, haha!)The cartoon/graphic novel styling is perfect for my younger reader who is always looking into to taking his older brothers graphic novels. It's easy to read, with bold words and easy to follow panels.The story was cute, and our main character learns that being friends with Gryphons comes with some unique challenges.What really reels you in is the great illustrations, simple yet super expressive graphics had my son laughing.Highly recommend, this is great for reading aloud, great for reluctant readers, and great for avid readers. I would say this is perfect for the 5 year old age range.

Sweet, fun story for budding young graphic novel fans By Bookphile We're all big fans of this series in this house, after having been enchanted by the sweet and funny Sleepless Knight, so we were very excited to see this new installment was imminent.This time around, the brave knight and faithful steed Edward face a new problem when a gryphon shows up on the scene and threatens their stalwart friendship. The knight is thrilled by the novelty of this new companion, and Edward can't help but feel jealous and left behind.As you can probably tell from that summary, this is at heart a story about learning how to navigate the ever-changing tapestry of social lives, which is a great topic for young children. My six-year-old son liked talking about the story and how Edward felt badly because the knight was so excited to spend time with the gryphon. In the end, the knight learns that true friendship is to be protected and not taken for granted.If I have one slight critique with this book it's that I would also have liked to see the gryphon become part of the circle, with the three learning that enlarging your circle of friends can be a good thing. Still, I liked that the book has a gentle message about how real friends are the ones who stick by you, even when they're nursing hurt feelings as a result of your actions.The art is very bright, colorful, and playful, as with previous books. Each page is divided up into multiple panels, so it's a great starter graphic novel for budding readers. My son especially liked this aspect of the book, as his dad and sister are very into graphic novels, but the books they read are typically too mature for him. This series offers him a nice go-to, with storylines that work really well for kids his age, and language that's simple enough for most kids to be able to handle reading it independently. If they need help, it also makes for a great read for Mom, Dad, or another loved one to share.As with previous books in this series, the insides of both the front and back cover contain simple examples of how to draw various characters from the book, which just adds to the overall enjoyment of the story. I really like how these books both encourage a love of reading comics while also making the idea of drawing your own comics accessible. We look forward to more!
