Avatar: The Last Airbender Books

by Michael Teitelbaum (Adapter), Patrick Spaziante (Illustrator)

#1 Sokka, the Sword The adventures of Aang and his friends continue in Sokka, the Sword Master , the first of two brand-new Avatar Level 3 Ready-to-Reads! When Sokka feels bad that he is not a master of anything – unlike Aang the Avatar, Toph the Earthbender, and his own sister Katara the Waterbender – he decides to master the sword. Disguising himself as a member of the Fire Nation, Sokka convinces Piandao, the master Fire Nation swordsman, to teach him the art. Piandao puts him through a series of exercises in order to prove himself, and eventually, Sokka is deemed a worthy sword master. But when he suddenly confesses to being from the Water Tribe, an angry Piandao challenges him to a duel! Who will emerge the victor?

#2 Aang's School In the second installment of the Avatar Ready-to-Read series, Aang and his friends are living in the Fire Nation, disguising themselves as natives in an attempt to blend in. Having visited the Fire Nation before, Aang is especially confident in his disguise – until he is mistaken for a school kid playing hooky. Aang is dragged off to a Fire Nation school – and he discovers that he actually likes it! But when his own beliefs clash with traditional customs, Aang finds himself in hot water. Can he help change the way things are done? Or will he just get himself into more trouble? Readers between the ages of 6 and 8 will strengthen their skills with these 32 page, Level 3 Ready-to-Reads, featuring full-color illustrations of their favorite Avatar characters.

So cute! This was an adaption of the episode The Headband, which was episode 2 of season 3 in Avatar: The Last Airbender, two episodes before the Sokka the Sword Master little book.
I liked the episode more than this... but to just focus on Aang and to give a child something kind to read with morals at the end of it, I think this is a good choice. It's also a very fast read, even for a child.

It's my goal to read all books that are from the Avatar The Last Airbender universe and they might all be for kids but, honestly, I'm enjoying them. This particular book was really fun since it's one of my favorite episodes from the show but if you're interested in watching it, it is season 3 episode 2. It's pretty similar from the episode but I think what made me really like it was the artwork since it was different from the show. I think that the content isn't that much different but it was just a nice short enjoyable read.
