Frequent children’s graphic novelist Blake A. Hoena (Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 2008; Ooze Slingers from Outer Space, 2007) offers this new version of the oft-told classic. He elegantly simplifies and streamlines an already fast-paced tale, producing a very crisp version. This allows Ricardo Tercio (Spider-Man Fairy Tales, 2007) to imbue the story with multiple levels through his flexible figures and somber palette. The giant, with his blazing orange eyes and angry, malleable face, presents an age-appropriate sense of menace, and Jack exudes the energy of a young boy, always poised for action even when sitting still. With just a dash of slapstick humor and the tale’s inherent suspense, this is a grand opportunity to introduce young kids to the graphic format through a story they are already familiar with; those who already follow their favorite superheroes in comics will see the vast range of possibilities in sequential art. To help with classroom use, there is a glossary, brief history of the tale, discussion questions, writing prompts, and suggested Internet sites. Grades K-2. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
I'm writing a review for this book because when I bought it I was really wishing someone else had. This book is comic book size, maybe a bit shorter lengthwise. The cover is like card stock but thicker, so it has a small binding (not magazine style like a regular comic book.) The inside is in color and very beautiful. I bought Jack and the Beanstalk, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella from Graphic Spin for my classroom library. Each book comes with a cast of characters at the beginning of the book, a glossary in the back as well as a history of the fairy tale itself. They are popular with my 4th graders for sure. |
