It’s here that author/illustrator/graphic novelist Ben Hatke’s Zita the Spacegirl series shines. In the best of these, the stories are bigger and more complex, the characters are more developed and more interesting, and the book’s text and illustrations play together differently and encourage the imagination to grow. There’s a bit of a gap between these two genres, however, and we’ve found that graphic novels can provide a bridge. Eventually, though, one’s imagination can fill in the gaps more effectively than the best illustrator, and “chapter books” ( the Chronicles of Narnia, say) are feasible and fun for your young readers.
Picture books are great, of course, and we’ve shared some ideas about what you can read to your kids in this space.
