Simone: The Best Monster Ever!
Simone
From 5 to 8 | 48 pages
Simone is a sweet, rosy-cheeked little girl. Morris is a green,
googly-eyed monster. When Simone enters Morris’s world, she strikes
terror in monsters’ hearts! Here, the rules are turned upside
down—flowers, puppies, and good behavior are the stuff of nightmares,
and all things scary and icky are adored.
Each page in this comics collection tells a different mini-story featuring Simone and Morris in four to six panels. Despite (and often because of) their differences, they have hilarious adventures together. Bold, vibrant cartoon art and speech bubbles with plenty of sound effects make punchlines simple to grasp. Single-page stories feature various seasons, holidays, activities, sports, and school, making this a fun, relatable pick for emergent readers seeking an entry point to graphic novels.

"The comic strip presentation is quick and does not require a lot of patience for young children as the storylines, while consistent with a theme, change rapidly from each comic to the other." - Canadian Review of Materials
