Catwad is a bit of a grouch, and Blurmp is a total optimist. Catwad, a graphic novel series for kids in grades 3-7, highlights this friendship in a hilarious yet relatable way. New York Times bestselling author Jim Benton, also the creator of Dear Dumb Diary, provides a hit with Catwad’s memorable text and eye-catching imagery. Your kids will laugh out loud at the dynamic duo and all of their jokes about everything from eating pizza to trying yoga.
Catwad #1: It's Me is a fantastic introduction to the titular crabby tabby, Catwad. The bright and colorful illustrations bring the graphic novel to life — and your child will enjoy comical, easy-to-follow visuals as Blurmp explains to Catwad how much he loves everything, much to Catwad’s grouchy chagrin.
In their zaniest adventure yet, Catwad #6: You're Making Me Six, Catwad and Blurmp attend a comic convention and end up taking part in outlandish endeavors like swimming inside of a toilet bowl and getting a glimpse of the future with Blurmp’s crystal ball. In addition to the benefits that graphic novels provide — such as improving reading comprehension and strengthening vocabulary — these books provide lessons about finding common ground with others and bonding over shared experiences.
