Zootopia is nice little comics series based on the awesome animated movie and its great fun for kids (and parents reading with kids). The art is very nice (I love the mix of full coloured characters mixed with watercolour background), the stories are smart, there are puns, wordplays and other humorous moments which are pretty clever. Authors did a god work here. After usually two short stories there is a "work section" with few riddles, games and task connected to the stories. It's fun, even if the previous stores are a bit better.

This is a kids graphic novel with Zootopia character's Hopps and Nick when they were young. There's two stories, "An Odd Job" and "Clueless", along with the some kid activities.
The short stories are okay and the art is nice.
