A simple read for beginners and kids regarding comics and graphic novels.

The illustration is fun. I liked it.

The story is quite simple.

The bunny and the owl bickering among themselves. It's funny.

Short and quick to read.

Thank you, author/artist and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

It can be very interactive in a class, you can ask questions and get answers. But generally it is all over the place. A bit too long, cute pictures, informative topic. I did not know squirrels vs rabbits.

Clever and unique, these graphic novels for young readers will keep children turning the pages to see what Ollie and Rea are doing next. The fun illustrations, age-appropriate play on words, and silliness are sure to delight.

A cute "Narwhal and Jelly" read-a-like in which a group of forest animals explore what makes them unique. Kids will enjoy the colorful artwork, animal puns, and animal facts while subtly being taught the importance of self-acceptance and rejecting stereotypes. Personally, I wish Bea the Bunny had embraced being 'superfriendly' as her power rather than pushing for a more physical talent. Kindness is a trait that ought to be celebrated.

Ollie the owl wears glasses, despite the misconception that all owls have excellent eyesight. His glasses make him self-conscious and he tries to avoid wearing them. Ollie meets Bea, a rabbit with huuuuge feet, who makes Ollie feel better about his glasses - they give him super vision and therefore that’s his super power. The pair meet up with other animals in the park and spend the day trying to figure out one another’s super powers.

This book was all about making new friends and overcoming your insecurities. I think this is a great message for young readers. In the beginning of the book there is a moment where Ollie overhears a joke that is being made about glasses and that makes him self-conscious. The other animals notice his glasses and don’t repeat the joke, which I thought was very kind and offers a good lesson to be mindful of others when you’re telling jokes. They didn’t mean to make fun of him.

The illustrations were cute and well done and I also enjoyed all of the animal puns.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book.

An owl who needs glasses to improve his vision, gets to stumble across (quite literally) a rabbit with humongous feet in this young, quickly-read graphic novel. The bunny, Bea, is adamant the glasses are nothing to be sorry about, and sees them immediately as a superpower, but is sure she has no superpower of her own. Refusing to be credited with being super-friendly (for in this positive world that's not a power, it's just plain normal), she might just get to feel a bit left out. It's a book advertising teamwork, respect and dropping the status game, that also manages to be about how some people treat eyesight correctives as a fault or something to be laughed at. So it's all thoroughly well-meaning, but what it is not is preachy. It's just bright, light-hearted, warm and welcome.
