I bought this book for my son (7yo) He LOVED it! It's a funny story that teaches along the way the different techniques that a cartoon/comic/ graphic novel artist uses. Then in the back, there are simple step by step instructions for drawing the characters used in the story.

This book was the catalyst for MANY MANY hours spent creatively writing and drawing stories.

It's become my favorite go to present for the 6-8 yo crowd. I usually pair it with a sketch book and some smencils.

The original link is $9.35 for me now, but I see a "paperback bargain" link for $5.20:

Apparently it could have a mark on it indicating it is a publisher's overstock, but who cares. I think my DS, also 7, will like it. Thanks for posting.
