Reviews
'Giggleworthy graphic-novel goodness.' Kirkus 'The purpose of junior fiction and junior graphic novels is to really get kids hooked into reading, and Gustav and Henri has all the required ingredients: a lot of fun, three different bite-sized adventures, and a bold, appealing hybrid graphic-novel design with plenty of entertaining little trimmings on the page. The first in a series, Gustav and Henri will excite readers and make them look forward to more reading. Did I mention there are also riddles, activities and a recipe for victory nachos? Reading rules!' - Readings
