Chu's Day at the Beach is the third in a series of picture books about a little panda with big a sneeze written by Neil Gaiman and magnificently illustrated by as master author in his own right, Adam Rex. Sometimes Gaiman's story doesn't get beyond the gag of the explosive sneeze, but Rex's illustrations are always a treat. Painterly and packed with out of the ordinary (for picture
Hansel & Gretel, written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Lorenzo Mattiotti is the newest release from TOON Graphics, a line of graphic novels for kids reading at 3rd grade level and above, launched by the superb François Mouly and the fantastic people at TOON Books.

Earlier this year in a Literary Celebrity Guest Review, Elissa Brent Weissman reviewed the charming Chu's Day, written by Neil Gaiman and brilliantly illustrated by Adam Rex. Now, just in time for fall, Chu is back and headed to school in Chu's First Day of School!

I really like this review because you talk about why The Graveyard Book is so amazing and touching--and you do so in a way that truly does the book justice.
