About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Adventures in Cartooning


Adventures in cartooning: how to turn your doodles into comics by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost

If your like me and your drawing ability doesn't go much further than stickmen, don't give up. There's hope for us, we can still tell a great story, full of adventure, fun, silly stuff - with a few helpful hints from this book simple drawings can be turned into a colourful exciting cartoon. Loved it!!

from the cover -- Cartooning is what happens when you send your drawings on an adventure. On this adventure, you'll meet an impatient knight, a cowardly horse, and a magical elf. Our heroes are off to rescue a princess and slay a dragon... and they're learning to make comics along the way. Simple lessons in cartooning are woven into a rip-roaring story. The only thing more fun than reading this comic will be making your own.
Read On.
