"A great little easy-to-read comic that everyone can enjoy."—Publishers WeeklyIn this Junior Library Guild selection, Luke looks at the pigeons while Dad is lost in "boring Daddy talk." Before you know it, Luke is as free as a bird, on a hilarious solo flight through New York City.
From School Library Journal Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 2–Bliss has created an ideal graphic novel for emerging readers. The simple text uses basic vocabulary and repetition, making it accessible to emerging readers. The birds lead him out of Central Park through Manhattan and across the Brooklyn Bridge to a quiet rooftop. While his dad is engaged in &boring talk& with a friend, Luke notices a flock of pigeons and chases after them. Children will enjoy his rambunctious adventure as he takes them on a spirited tour of New York City. All rights reserved.

Don't Let the Pigeon Lure the Kid The TOON Book idea was simple. Produce books for early readers in a comic book format, as created by a variety of different author/illustrators. Cat in the Hat with speech bubbles, if you will. The problem? Children's authors often say that novels are easy and picture books are hard. I'd take that one step further. Picture books are hard but easy books are near impossible. To be truly great you have to reinvent the genre. Seuss did. Mo Willems certainly has with his Elephant and Piggie. And until now the TOON Books have been finding thei. "WIll Elder For Young Kids" according to Robert W. Clough. The Francoise Mouly-edited Toon Books are among the best edited and conceived books in all of comics (regardless of genre). It's hard to think of a better introduction to the art form than these books, which cleverly disguise their pedagogic nature in the form of their stories. At their heart, these books are Comics 101 courses, carefully breaking down and isolating what makes comics successful and how to make this plain to anyone. Take the covers, for example. Great care is taken to indicate that this isn't simply another illustrated pi. Great Book for Young Readers A few months ago, I was lucky enough to receive the Fall 2008 line of Toon Books (see my review.) My son and I both treasure these books, and that's a very good thing because I read them to him all the time! I can't tell you how many times we've read them, but he's still laughs like a nut each and every time. So I was very excited when I received a package with two more of these Toon Books -- THE BIG NO-NO! and LUKE ON THE LOOSE. Both books are part of the Spring 2009 line and will be released in May 2009.If you're not familiar with Toon
