Wow in third grade!!! I read it as a young adult before I had converted to Judaism. My child is in third grade and I think it is too sophisticated for her. We went to see Rango yesterday and she did not love it. The whole movie was full of references to Clint Eastwood westerns. It went totally over her head. I think Maus would be the same way for her. Although the impact of the cats, mice and pigs is pretty simple. I don't know. I think I'll wait a bit.

But I did have my nieces read it at 4th grade or so. Yes they had questions but I felt they were ready for it. |

Like WBP, I read books when I was a child that most adults wouldnt tackle ( Ann Ryan anyone?) And like him, I grasped some, but not all. I would re-read later and grasp more. Not until an adult would I get it all. But I think those early moments with the book opened consciousnesses that I already had, was born with, and would have laid dormant for years if not forever had I not with childlike innocence, caressed them to open like spring buds. What came later burst forth larger concepts that didnt need to strain.... the light had already been released.....
dont be afraid to expose goodness to children. They will mix it together and artistically make intelligence out of it....

I have only read one graphic novel...and, I apologize in advance, if this does not fit the discussion (I fear it does not)...still--on the odd chance
it is "Hereville How Mirka Got Her Sword" by Barry Deutsch I admit to not ever enjoying comics...reading the bubbles while interpreting the drawings is all to much for me, so my reaction to this was the same...made all the more painful (for me) by my massive disappointment with the story itself...one I got because it was touted as a novel about an ortodox girl who wanted to fight trolls...I do know that this thread is for the graphic novel and it's form and not to discuss the content so much of the story...suffices to say that I experienced the graphics to only further upset me as it illustrated the story line... (sorry if I was too 'off'--feel free to delete me) Z:) |

Here is another question do graphic novels have an age limit to who buys them or reads them? I am 48 and I love them. When I lived in Milwaukee there were comic books stores. Unfortunately there are none where I live now. If you can find a store to take your time and browse in to find a series or titles you like.
