So this is my graphic novel. I am going to be honest and say I really wasn't too excited to read one of these types of books. I really had a bad attitude about it because I thought for sure I wouldn't like the style of writing. I was so wrong. I really enjoyed the movement and the pictures and all the dialect the story had.
It didn't hurt that the story was about two little mice. They were brother and sister and had the stereotypical brother/sister relationship. The brother is older and he picks on his sister but at the same time he is protective over her. He looks out for her and tries to show her the difference between right and wrong. The little sister is also very curious and almost on the edge of mischievous. They get a new neighbor and the story is about them meeting her and having a little problem at first. In the end they make a new friend with this new neighbor. I think it is even more cute because they are little talking animals.
The illustrations are done in colored pencil. They are really simple and mute colors. But the pictures add so much to the story. It is crazy to be able to see emotion on a little critters face like you can in this story. Definitely changed my perspective of this style of writing.
