About This Book

Princesses, spells, and witches in the woods--now in graphic novels! New readers can feel confident reading graphic novels--just like the big kids--with Discover Graphics, a series of graphic novels just for them.

And older, more confident readers will appreciate the beautiful art and diverse characters in these retellings.

Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation brings classic fairy tales to life through vibrant visual storytelling, offering emerging readers an accessible entry point into the world of princesses, magical spells, and enchanted forests. With reading levels carefully calibrated to first-grade standards, the series builds literacy confidence through familiar narratives supported by sequential art panels. The graphic novel format provides crucial visual context clues that help young children decode text and follow story progression independently. Children will find immediate engagement with these timeless stories reimagined through dynamic illustrations and diverse character representations.

What sets this collection apart is its thoughtful balance between visual excitement and reading support, making it ideal for kindergarten through second-grade readers transitioning from picture books to more text-heavy formats. The artwork doesn't just decorate but actively guides comprehension, allowing children to infer meaning between panels while building essential graphic literacy skills. Both reluctant readers and those ready for more challenging material will appreciate how the illustrations enhance rather than replace the storytelling. This approach successfully demystifies the graphic novel format while celebrating the magical elements that make fairy tales enduringly popular across generations.
