We choose high quality stories with expressive and engaging artwork, and comics meant to entertain.
Garfield is a top choice for many children. From Garfield, many of our students learn idioms and comic expressions; the text is accessible and fun; and the static characters of Jon and his fat cat become dependable companions for young readers.
But it's not all fun and games in the graphic section. We also have "serious" graphic novels like Around the World: three tales about early aviators; The Olympians series featuring Zeus, Hades, and Athena, and the graphic version of Lightning Thief, to name just a few.

That's it folks...another great year of reading at AIS-Budapest!
If you count Ursula Vernon's Dragonbreath as graphic, then I would definitely include those. And my students still love the Bone books, although I think of Pogo every time I check one out!
