DC Graphic Novels for Kids Are A HUGE Hit In Our House

DC Kids sent us a selection of their fantastic graphic novels for kids for free to check out and enjoy. Opinions are our own.

Getting Andy to read can be a tough job but we are all about encouraging him to read more. Luckily DC Kids sent us a great bunch of new graphic novels for kids and he has been tearing through them like nobody’s business. The first one he read was We Found a Monster which comes out on January 12, 2021. We wrote a separate post just on that book. He loved the style of Kirk Scroggs and so the second one he wanted to read was The Secret Spiral of Swamp Boy which was part of the DC Graphic Novels for Kids Box Set 1 and that set also includes Dear Justice League, Superman of Smallville and Black Canary: Ignite. Rounding out the package from DC Kids was Teen Titans Go to Camp.

These graphic novels are great for kids. They are filled with lots of laughs and awesome art. I love that Andy is diving into comics and comic book characters because I have a ton of comics in my collection to share with him when he is older and can handle collectible comics properly. Not leaving them out or bending them and more. These books can stand up to the abuse from kids 8-12. They are perfect for tossing into backpacks or the backseat of the car to offer a much better alternative than even more screen time. Andy takes these along when we go to Karate so he has something to do while he waits for his class to start.

The reason I know that he is enjoying these books is that he tells me about everything happening in the books like I don’t already know so much about Superman or even the Teen Titans. I love that he is so excited about these characters that I have enjoyed for so long. That in itself is worth the price for any books.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
