Your Life in Comics Review and Giveaway (Book) - Ends 12-02-10
First, I would like to Thank Free Spirit for giving me the opportunity to do this review. I gave this book to my grandson and he just loves it, he thought it was so much fun to write his own comic!
What’s more fun for tween guys than reading comics? Making their own. YOUR LIFE IN COMICS: 100 THINGS FOR GUYS TO WRITE AND DRAW by Bill Zimmerman (Free Spirit Publishing, $9.99) lets boys ages 9–13 do just that. Rather than provide the plot, this interactive book allows readers to decide what happens by using words and drawings of their own invention.
Building on the Free Spirit favorite 100 THINGS GUYS NEED TO KNOW, this do-it-yourself comic book can be a source of fun that also gets boys thinking about important topics in their lives, including family, friends, school, health and the future. The book can be used independently or for reading, writing, or behavioral support, whether in school, youth groups, or as part of a home library.
YOUR LIFE IN COMICS includes completed comics where boys can dictate what happens through dialogue—an ideal way to express thoughts that might be difficult to verbalize. Other activities encourage guys to draw full comic strips and freestyle activities let them personalize the book. Boys can use the unique format simply for lighthearted artistic efforts or for more meaningful and personal expression, similar to a journal.
Features of YOUR LIFE IN COMICS include:
• Graphic-novel-style illustrations• Fun drawing and writing activities that can engage for hours
• Exercises and prompts that encourage guys to explore thoughts and attitudes
• Chronicling of tween years that can become a treasured keepsake
• Website extensions pointing the way to fun, interactive online resources
