Lulu and the Duck in the Park
AuthorHilary McKay

Little Robot
AuthorBen Hatke
ISBN1626720800
Another very impressive book by Ben Hatke.

Not just a delightfully good graphic novel that will be a delight for kids, but this one has a *very* minimal verbal content, which is exceptionally hard to pull off.
