Bean Dog and Nugget

Graphic novels are gaining a huge following among children and their parents.  There are even several great graphic novels for the picture book set. 

Bean Dog and Nugget by Charise Mericle Harper is an easy graphic novel series for young children. 

I love the first two books in the series -- The Cookie and The Ball.  Bean Dog and Nugget are best friends.  In The Cookie, Bean Dog is tricked by Nugget who claims to have an invisible donut.  In The Ball, Bean Dog and Nugget rescue a ball that has gotten caught in a bush.  Both are very simple stories with humorous touches.  Bean Dog and Nugget's reactions are very childlike.

These are great books to use to introduce young children to graphic novels.
