This week I'm exploring and getting to know more about graphic novels for younger readers. On Sunday I celebrated what began this journey, with Being Out of My Reading Comfort Zone.
The Glorkian Warrior Delivers a Pizza by James Kochalka is funny and full of fantasy ideas. The Glorkian Warrior is a three eyed skinny alien. He gets a call to deliver a pizza and has quite the journey trying to get this done. Glorikan Warrior and his side kick, super backpack have a super car they aren't too sure how to drive. They run into Glonk; a giant who loves pizza. However, the reader will soon discover Glonk may not really be a giant. Then there's an egg from a space ship which means an alien baby for them to interact with. Their interactions are charming and humorous. The pizza eventually gets delivered but they find out the journey may not have been necessary.
I learned graphic novels aren't always quick reads. This book took some time for me to read, several short sessions. There's more action than my previous reads this week and the illustrations were key in showing this. The colors were also selected and organized to help tell each chapter.
