This full-color volume features more than a dozen short stories (both fiction and nonfiction) that address topics in Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, and Science, while offering an immersive textual and visual experience that kids will enjoy. Highlights include
George Washington: Action President by Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey
, Doctor Sputnik: Man of Science by Roger Langridge,
The Power of Print by Katie Cook, and many more.
Includes a foreword by Printz and Eisner Award-winning author Gene Luen Yang (
American Born Chinese, Boxers and Saints).
A downloadable Teachers' Guide includes standards-correlated lesson plans customized to each story, research-based justifications for using comics in the classroom, a guide to establishing best classroom practices, and a comprehensive listing of educational resources.
