What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A funny comic with robots, monsters, and aliens-that’s just right for second graders! Sam claims a monster ate his homework, the tub is full of alligators, and extraterrestrials have named their planet in his honor. But when Sam’s exaggerations alienate his classmates, the tall tales escalate. Are robots really attacking his house? (Of course not! Sam made it up!) As in Aesop’s classic “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” Sam’s community rallies to help him out. And Sam learns how a big fib can have serious consequences. I Like to Read Comics(R) are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. I Like to Read Comics(R), like their award-winning I Like to Read(R) counterpart, are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers. We hope that all new readers will say, “I like to read comics!”
