Cave-In

Rating:
Summary: Not necessarily for children
Review: Cave-In is a beautiful, rich, and disturbing book. Parents will want to read it themselves before passing it on to smaller children, as portions of it are quite scary. They also might want to read it first in case they want to hold onto this beautiful little object for themselves rather than letting their offspring get their grubby little mitts on it.

Parents looking for a more small child-appropriate wordless book should grab Lewis Trondheim's La Mouche, which sadly isn't available through Amazon. A toddler friend and I had a lot of fun reading it to each other recently.

Cave-in's a beautifully designed little story, elegantly told. Hopefully, Ralph's follow-up, Crumb-Bums, will be nearly as good.

Rating:
Summary: Wordless, thoughtful
Review: Mr. Ralph's work is drawn roughly, but not primitively; thestory is sweet, but not substanceless. Adults and children can enjoythis wordless graphic novel that is both lighthearted and poignant.

Summary: hey
Review: Well this will probably be a biast review seeing as brian is my art teacher, but what ever, this book is really good. It was amazing how he can evoke emotions with no words. My 3rd favorite graphic novel after The crow and Alan Moore's From Hell
