Graphic novels I have noticed
have been becoming more popular with many kids. They see it as a comic book.
Being familiar with the parts of a graphic novel and educating students on the
specific parts can open their eyes to a different format. Showing the different
books that are graphic novels, not only “boyish” there are books that are girly
such as “Baby Mouse.” I really need to be become more open to graphic novels.
