About this title

From the Author:

Josh Elder is the founder and president of Reading with Pictures. Reading with Pictures is a nonprofit founded in 2009 "to get comics into schools and schools into comics".

Their website, which is replete with resources, is www.readingwithpictures.org.

Review:

(starred review) "Elder has assembled an array of creators adept at speaking in engaging, nondidactic voices, and each subject...features three to five stories that skillfully craft basic principles into energetic stories...every student will find something to connect with...A great tool." (Booklist)

"This serves as an introduction to educators who would like more background on the use of comics in the classroom." (Karen Hildebrand, Reading Today magazine)

"Parents and teachers of kids in grades 3-8 will find materials here that kids will enjoy, and may suggest new ways to teach familiar subjects.  It belongs in both school and public libraries, and would also be of use to home-school families." (Nick Smith, ICv2)
