Owly Volume 2: Just A Little Blue (Owly (Graphic Novels))
Andy Runton
Top Shelf Productions, 2005
Wonderful gentle almost wordless fun
We have the 1st 3 Owly books, and my 4 year old daughter loves to "read" it to her 2 year old sister, who asks for it every day and night. They even play Owly games at the playground. Very sweet.

Korgi, Vol. 1
Christian Slade
Top Shelf Productions, 2007
Don't Miss It !
WOW I'm going to 'read' it again as soon as I finish this review. It was an experience like a child's first awareness of a butterfly. Korgi Book 1 made me feel like a wide-eyed child agian. The drawings are rich with expression and movement; the story is exciting and ...

From Hell - New Cover Edition
Alan Moore, Eddie Campbell
Top Shelf Productions, 2000
A masterpiece! What did you expect me to say?
Thick as a phone-book and often difficult to navigate. 'From Hell' is a comic that demands a lot from the reader and not is possible to finish over a single visit at the restroom. But it will yet be a highly rewarding experience for whoever who dares to give it a try.

Baby's First Comic Book
I wanted to give my 3 1/2 year old daughter a present for Valentine's Day that shared something I love with her. And, as I love comic books, I was lucky enough to come across Owly.
She loves it! And I love it! And her mom loves it!
It is the perfect 1st comic ...

Owly Volume 4 (Owly (Graphic Novels))
Andy Runton
Top Shelf Productions, 2007
A Time to Be Brave
It's very hard not to adore Owly. The drawings, charmingly rendered in black and white, effectively communicate entire stories with very few to no words. They're great for young kids who still don't know how to read that well, but all ages can appreciate the genuine ...

Blankets
Craig Thompson

A coming of age story sure to tug on your heartstrings.
In Blankets, Craig Thompson presents a personal story that many people who grew up as "outcasts" in the rural heartland of America will find hard not to relate with. With art that is both simplistic and beautiful, the story of a young Craig coming to terms with his ...

Box Office Poison
Alex Robinson
Top Shelf Productions, 2001
All I can say is Wow...
I read this book (all 600+ pages) in one long sitting and I will definitely be back to read it again and savor it. It's the story of an interwoven group of friends and acquaintances, mostly in early post-college life, in New York in the mid 1990s. The book mostly ...

Too Cool To Be Forgotten
Alex Robinson
Top Shelf Productions, 2008
Wow
Great graphic novel.
If you were to wake up as a 15 year old again, but with the memories of your life up to 40, what would you think? What would you do?
This book hits the nail DEAD on the head. The protaganist has a very realistic, if short, trip to his own ...

Tonoharu: Part One
Lars Martinson
Top Shelf Productions, 2008
true parody of the JET Experience!
Tonoharu is a beautiful, true to life graphic novel. I taught English in Fukuoka for three years with the JET Programme, and even though this book presents some extreme examples of what can happen, the most outrageous thing is how factual it actually is. Nuanced, ...

Voice Of The Fire
Alan Moore
Top Shelf Productions, 2004
This book is a work of magic
I think that Rebecca Scott explains the book best in her greenmanreview.com review. Here is an excerpt: "If Voice of the Fire has a protagonist, it must be Northampton itself, because this is the story of the formation of the mythology of that place. It is a geological ...
