For parents

What Parents Should Know

Short chapters, bright panels, visual jokes, and a small recurring cast make these inviting first graphic novels. The friends have very different abilities and temperaments, giving families useful openings to discuss compromise, encouragement, and appreciating what each person contributes.

Stories include separation from family, fear of flying, arguments, a feud, getting lost, and a larger character taking something from Jay through bullying. Conflict remains age-appropriate, and the trio solves problems by sticking together and looking beneath another character's behavior.
