Billy Johnson and his Duck are Explorers. The title accurately describes the book. Very strong Adventure Time vibes, and to me, that’s a good thing. Fun and engaging story, perfect for younger readers (the book states age range 8-11, which I think is accurate.) the artwork can be a little flat with the hard lines and solid colors, but I think it works. If you or your kids like Adventure Time, you’ll like this.

Ending is left open for a sequel, which I really hope we get. I will be getting this for our K-8 library.

This is a cute and quirky graphic novel for younger readers. Not typically my reading style, but definitely worth recommending to younger patrons.

This is basically a one trick pony, funny, but one trick. The trick is that a duck is an archiology professor and Billy Johnson, whose parents used to be explorers, wants to go out with said duck, and well, explore.

Billy's day job is a janitor, so you can get why he would rather be out having adventures.

Along the way, he runs into other adventurers who are either better than he is, or just as incompetent.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Billy Johnson loves to explore. Adventure runs in his veins, and he has a knack for finding it.... along with a lot of trouble!

In this fun graphic novel, titled Billy Johnson and His Duck Are Explorers, Billy and his favorite sidekick, Barrace, are on a mission. It is their goal to prove to the Explorers League that they are ready to be deemed Ace Explorers. After all, as a child of two of the best explorers, Billy knows that exploring is deep within his blood. He yearns for an adventure and sets off for a journey he could never prepare for.

My 4th-graders are going to love Billy Johnson and His Duck are Explorers. It is a brightly colored and illustrated graphic novel. This format is absolutely the favorite amongst my students right now. I see them instantly gravitating to this format.

In addition to loving the graphic novel format of the story, they will also love the fun pairing of Billy and his duck. It is wacky, and upper elementary students love all things wacky and weird. What is not to love about a professor that is also a duck?!?!

The mix of adventure and historical places to explore will also be a hit for elementary students. They love adventure, and they will love jumping into this fun graphic novel.

Young readers will love the adventures of Billy Johnson and his duck! Danger, exploration, and humor abound as Billy Johnson and his duck face gorillas, graveyards, and linguistics!

I wanted to keep on reading! I'm very curious about the blue 'protector' and what's his story. I liked the adventures and the artwork was great! Definitely want to read a follow up and read more about their adventures.
