I'm not saying this is a horrible book, but it's not exactly a graphic novel either...
If it wasn't marketed as that, I might be willing to purchase it for my library. But most of the text is outside of the graphics which, in my opinion, just makes this a picture book that also has a few speech bubbles.
I like how it teaches the kids HOW to read a graphic novel, though. Just a little confused on this layout.
