Title: Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy
Author: Doug Savage
Geared Towards: 4th grade and up
The forest is full of danger . . . but help is here. Meet Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy, improbable pals who use their powers—laser vision and an unrelenting sense of optimism—to fight the forces of evil. Join the dynamic duo as they battle aliens, a mutant fish-bear, a cyborg porcupine, and a mechanical squirrel, learning along the way that looking on the bright side might be just as powerful as shooting a laser.
Graphic novels are HUGE at my media center. We cannot keep them on the shelf. So when I was offered this book for review I wanted to check it out. I do think it's one that kids will enjoy. I mean really what kid wouldn't like a story with a moose that can shoot lasers out of his eyes?! But what is fun about it is that he isn't the best aim and some funny things happen because of it. What I found interesting about this book is that it's several shorter stories in one book. That is not something I've seen before in a graphic novel. I think kids would like that as well because some need shorter pieces and like to read a story beginning to end in one setting.
Media Thoughts: Yes I'd put this in the media center. One thing to note is that even though it looks like it could be for younger kids I think it's more for like 3rd and up.
Like graphic novels
This sounds very different from most of the graphic novels out there. Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out.
