It is what it says on the tin. I like that these comic strips are somewhat sequential. A good book about boys getting into shenanigans, and happy to see diversity.
I have not read this series before and was delighted by it. It is more comic book rather than graphic novel so it’s perfect for kids who love comics.
I enjoyed this collection of comics in this book. It followed two best friends on lots of different adventures. They meet different people along the way.
This was fun to read. It had action and adventure throughout. It had quite a bit of giggles throughout. The illustrations were well done and were colorful.
I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.
I adore this comic strip which centers around two best buds, and their wacky families. There are two great longer story arcs in this book - the permanent marker tattoo, and the Mega Wrestling Frenzy adventure - which are worth the price of admission alone, but the every day antics of Miles and Kevin are also not to be missed. Hope this strip goes on forever.
I'm not sure who laughed more, me or my son. This book is hilarious. They remind me of the best of the Sunday comics. He was on the young end of the recommended age range at 8 but there were plenty of laughs to be had even though a few jokes went over his head. The perfect graphic novel to read with you kid and laugh together.
The format of this book reminded me of the old comedy sketch shows, like Laugh In and You Can't Do That On Television... yes, I know I'm aging myself. The longer vignettes have quickie comics placed in the middle of them which breaks them up, kind of like a commercial break would. For me, this took a little getting used to, but once I got used to it I thought it was well thought out and very cleverly done. I think kids today will be fine with that format because they're so used to ads sporadically breaking up the things they watch nowadays. In fact, it may help build up their working memory. Overall, this was an entertaining read that both kids and adults will get a kick out of.
Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for allowing me early access to the ARC ebook edition of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Another cool Crabgrass collection. I did recall some if the storylines from the author's Instagram. But, there was also stuff that was either new or I didn't remember.
Heh. Fun stories. (And, banned from the library, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.... :) naughty boy ...)
I haven't read the Crabgrass comics before, but this one was a delight to read! Besties Miles and Kevin get up to all sorts of hijinks as only 9yo boys can, from class projects to wrestling, to bad ideas to having each other's backs. There are poignant moments, laugh out loud moments, and plenty of in-house for the adults.
With shades of Calvin and Hobbes, a little bit Foxtrot, and a whole lot of unique style, Unsupervised: A Crabgrass Comics Adventure is a whole.lot of fun.
