A review by naughty_librarian
Korgi Book 2: The Cosmic Collector by Christian Slade
5.0
Another beautifully illustrated and imaginative installment of Ivy and Sprout’s adventures. This time, they face a Cthulhu-like monster stealing fairy wings. The darkness of the plot is countered with cuteness, heartwarming reminders of the power of friendship, and the rewards of courageously fighting for others. I wish there were 100+ volumes of this delightful graphic novel!
Wordless books like this are a great way for early elementary children—who may not always enjoy reading—to take a break from the struggles that reading can sometimes present. Books like this give all kids—even the ones who struggle with letters and words—the chance to simply experience the magic and joy of great storytelling that books can unlock for them. This book does this expertly—words are not needed and would distract from every perfectly placed pen mark on each page. Wordless stories create a positive association with books, the perfect supplement to keep kids motivated to keep working on their reading skills, to understand the value and entertainment that books present in a no-pressure situation, the pure joy, adventure, connection and imagination books offer.
