I love this series of easy readers. This book (RL: 1.5) introduces a new girl to the school, Kitsune. A Japanese mythical fox of folklore. Being new to a school isn't all that fun, but the girls except Kitsune right away, it's the boys who seem to have a problem. She's a fox, she's pink and she won the Mon-Star Prize at her last school. Vlad has always won the prize here. The story is about the animosity the boys have for Kitsune until they actually get to know her and the teacher comes up with a great way to show them that winning isn't always the most important thing. Very funny and cute. Love this series!

In this title from the Mighty Mighty Monsters series, there is a new monster in Translymania. Her name is Kitsune. I like this series of graphic novels because it isn't scary at all, plus it is perfect for younger elementary kids. I liked the little story, the extras at the end (discussion questions and glossary). The only thing I wasn't crazy about where the pictures. Still, a very good addition to our graphic novel collection.

So this was a new “horror” monster for me, the fox Kitsune. It’s a Japanese monster, that I think works well in this series. And since it is part of series 1 there is a little bit of Kitsune history in the back.

Cliche dialogue. Fair artwork. Could have been better. My 9 year old nephew could write a better story.

I love this series. It's a fun intro to the world of monsters without being scary. This is a good series for the 1st/2nd grade emerging reader.

I'm still not a fan of the computer graphics, but it was cute.
