The monster puns!

This was cute and filled with monster puns and I laughed out loud more than a you'd think for such a short comic book.

Reason for Reading: I think this series is adorable.
An easy reader graphic novel about famous movie monsters when they were kids and went to school together. This time the kids have a day off and head for the beach where they meet Gilliver Finn, Gil to his friends, who would later become known as The Creature From then Black Lagoon. Anyway, he's afraid of the water, the ocean and fish all together so his new found friends help him to over come his fears and he ends up being not so lonely anymore. O'Reilly's story is cute and fun as usual with this series suitable for Grades 1-4 and reluctant readers being at a Guided Reading Level K. Scott's Arcana Studios do a magnificent job on the animation quality illustrations. Not my favourite in the series but still a fun read.

I really hate this style of art. It looks like it is done in a computer modeling program with sort of bulbous, glassy looking figures. Unfrotunately there are no lines around the outside of the characters so it's almost like viewing the pictures through a dirty window where they lose definition and blend into each other and/or the background. The story was very mediocre with an obvious plot line and pretty lame mosnter jokes although I should note that as a jaded adult, I'm not the target audience here. I also found the glossary to be obligatory and not very helpful since there's no indication as reading that the back can be consulted for pronunciation and definition which seems clear from the context anyway.

A fun series to introduce classic movie monsters to kids of all ages. Also a Hi-Lo graphic novel for even the youngest of horror geeks.
