Harry Potter fans and Oz fans might like this book the best. This covers a lot of well known children's literature, but this did a perfect job with both the Harry Potter and Oz book series. This covers every Oz book in 14 pages and every Potter book in 7 pages (both showing nearly every character in the series).

Like all of the other Graphic Cannons this only features samples of the stories. Yes this features nearly everything for Harry Potter and Oz fans, they left out some stuff that is understandable. Also loved the fact they included the Oz books, Harry Potter, the Hardy Boys, Velveteen Rabbit, La Fontaine, Pinocchio (the real version too), Pippi Longstocking, Time Machine, Peter Pan, Wind in the Willow, Watership Down, Alice in Wonderland, and even has a neat gallery that has Babar, Hunger Games, and Winnie the Pooh. For me this book covers a lot of my favorites. More then the other books have done.

There are a few (not as many this time) that I did end up not liking as much. Just they didn't really suit my interest. And only a few I didn't care for the art.

This book is the best with art though. It's more of an art book then a comic book. I think my favorite section was the Oz books. Loved seeing how they drew all the Oz characters. Made me wish the Marvel comics continued there Oz series. But finally with this I got to see the Patchwork Girl in a comic book. This is also makes me want to read the rest of the Oz books which I have them all and then some.

I should note that even though this is about children's literature, this is more for adults. It's for the adults who still read kids books because they refuse to grow up. Reason I'll never stop loving classic children's literature. ( )

A beautiful collection of dozens of classic children's stories rendered in graphic novel format by some of today's top illustrators and comics artists. I enjoyed paging through the variety of artistic styles here, though being a non-creative type could make neither heads nor tails of a few of the more abstract illustrations and would not have known which tale I was reading had I not studiously read each introduction prior to its work. Recommended. ( )
