Pranks and Attacks!: Book 1 by Laurent Richard

3.0

Tao, the Little Samurai was utterly charming and in some ways, reminiscent of Dennis the Menace or Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes. A precocious young boy who can't seem to focus on the task at hand, Tao finds himself getting into trouble more often than not and he sometimes brings his friends down with him. Despite this, he manages to be funny and you can't help but enjoy his antics, all the while being grateful he's not your responsibility. Kids will love this and the fact that it consists of one to two page comics will allow younger kids to read it in smaller pieces, making it more manageable than a full-fledged graphic novel might be.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced reader copy.
