I picked these up for my niece today. They are awesome. It’s the perfect mesh of a storybook and a comic and the way it is written is simple enough that she’ll be able to read it herself soon. They are a little pricey, but the art is fantastic and the colors pop, and they certainly hit their target audience.
I’ll probably have to get this for my son, he likes Yo Gabba Gabba. Although, he’s only 2 (almost 3) and I found a copy of some Tiny Titans book that I got at Free Comic Book Day last year or year before and I didn’t care if it got destroyed so I gave it to him and he’s carried it around for days. He always wanted to read it in the car while we’re driving.
