The Graphic Canon of Children Literature The World Greatest Kids' Lit as Comics and Visuals The Graphic Canon Series Russ Kick Books

A nice overview of world literature for children in an engaging format. I was expecting to see some more coverage of contemporary fiction but the book seems to focus on representative works of various places and times. Definitely presented for an adult audience as the artists and editor take great delight in featuring unexpurgated versions of more familiar tales. Would recommend for an adult or mature teen reader with an interest in the comic book medium.

This is not a book for kids. It has artistic value but maybe not in a way you're expecting and for much of it, not for sitting down with the kids. There are a couple of stories that have nude figures or sexuality that most would not consider a kid's story, but I don't have a problem with that, just FYI. I read with my kids most nights when they were little. There is maybe 1/4 of the book I would sit down with them and expect them to enjoy. Some stories are just a few illustrations but without the story so you would need some other copy of the story to go with this. In others it is such a modernized version or "let's see how out there we can make this" that I doubt kids would enjoy it. Older teens and those into graphic novels seem to be the audience. There is some art here, as the gallery in the back shows, but some of the stories are done in a simplistic style that has none of the richness and fascination your kids would enjoy. Think Charlie Brown does Aesop's Fables. "How graphic novel fans would see kids stories" would be a more accurate name, and it does that well. For great children's literature and great art to draw them into it? There's only a little here.
I've only recently become a fan of comic books, and normally when searching for another to purchase I try to find something that strikes me as different in terms of the story, characters, or illustrations. I came across The Graphic Canon of Children's Literature online and decided to order it both for the range of stories covered in the volume and because each story is illustrated by a different artist in their own unique style.

When the book arrived I was not disappointed - it satisfied my desire for something visually appealing and my longing for diverse illustrations. The stories themselves are told in unique ways as well - some are told in comic-form with panels and speech bubbles while others may contain pictures with no words.

I've really enjoyed this collection and am planning on purchasing the three volumes of The Graphic Canon of Literature in the future.
NOT FOR KIDS, though. Graphic sexual violence.
