PRAISE FOR Viminy Crowe's Comic Book:
"This wholly imagined fantasy is well–fleshed out and keeps the
pages flying with its extremely clever story within a story . . . A
thrilling and imaginative reminder that adventure and magic can be
found anywhere, especially where one least expects it." --Starred
Review, Kirkus Reviews
"The numerous black-and-white comic panels help bring the story to
life for traditional and graphic novel fans, also bridging the two
settings and the story-within-a-story narrative structure. Comic
geeks or not, many are likely to enjoy this humorous and
action-packed adventure." --School Library Journal
"The mix and match of the comic book with a story book is a unique
approach to children’s literature. . . . The sheer imagination of
the authors wins the attention of the reader with this page turner
. . . Highly recommended for recreational reading, genre study,
discussion groups. An excellent addition to a school or classroom
library." --Resource Links
"[A] well-paced, entertaining adventure story in which comics play
an integral role. In fact, Viminy Crowe’s Comic
Book celebrates the genre in a way that hasn’t been done in
children’s lit before: by combining the format of a novel with that
of a comic strip and housing it between two hard covers for the
enjoyment of youngsters everywhere." --The Montreal Gazette
