Limerick Comics

This is such a fun book. The limericks are comical, the facts connected to the limericks are actually quite fascinating and the images are wonderful. I enjoy how due to the limericks the child may remember the facts easier.

I would definitely use this for a project

Limerick Comics is a collection of one-page comics that with rhyme, funny drawings, and text present the reader history, mini bio of ”famous” people (I didn't know of them), or scientific topics.

It was a fun and engaging read!

The rhyme often made me smile and I found that it added a special personality to the text info.

The comics/facts are not related in a way that means you learn about one subject only, but instead, you learn about lots of different things giving the reader an introduction to many fields.

A perfect read for the reader that hates long and complicated books. The reader will without a doubt get a broad general knowledge from this read – and honestly, who doesn't like feeling smarter after reading a book?

This was so much fun and I loved how it was informative and entertaining! The artwork was impressive and immersive and readers will enjoy the fun twists on historical lessons.

I love comics. There are few comics that can be read at any age. This is one of them. Limerick Comics is a collection of one-page comics that with rhyme, funny drawings, and text present the reader history, mini bio of ”famous” people (I didn't know of them), or scientific topics.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is so fun and silly! Illustrations were great too.

Miigweetch NetGalley and Pony Express Publications for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This is a short book full of illustrated limericks. Each limerick has a theme, and at the end of the poem is a short blurb full of facts related to the theme. The arrangement and curation of subjects is seemingly random and nothing really seems to go together. I didn’t like the art style nor the font used and initially I was really turned off and was going to rate this book 1 or 2 stars. Nevertheless, I kept reading, and I actually learned a few things. I cannot stress enough how RANDOM the poems seem to be. My favorite was the one about members of the Mohawk nation becoming steeplejacks - it was truly fascinating!

I would have liked to see a more cohesive theme, and some of the rhymes were a bit of a stretch, but overall, I did enjoy reading the book and would consider using some of the limiericks as samples in a classroom poetry unit.

A cute, short book full of silly limericks. It was a fun read. Each limerick has its own page complete with art. The art is cute and goes with the theme of the book really well. I enjoyed reading it, I do hope there are more.

Each Lymerick-style rhyme is illustrated in an amusing, colorful way, and is followed by truly fascinating information about the subject of the poem (i.e., the pony express, muleskinners, jesters or slugs). Some are explanations, and some include in-depth information about wildlife or historical subjects that typical sources overlook. I was surprised by the number of things I didn't know! I also appreciated the author's mention of healthy habits within the topics.

One or two subjects may not be to your taste at first, but they are very diverse, and unless you're a trivia expert (like champions on a certain game show), you will learn something that may send you off to research a new topic of interest!

5/5 Stars A fun way to learn in greater depth!

Thanks to Pony Express Publications and NetGalley for the temporary digital preview; any review is voluntary and entirely my own opinion.

'Limerick Comics' by Robert Hoyman with illustrations by Steve Feldman is a graphic novel of fun limericks (and you might just learn a thing or two).

This book is a series of clever limericks about all kinds of things. Things like slugs and food fights and bats, among other things. After each limerick are some quick fun facts about the subject of the limerick.

As a kid, I would have loved this book. The limericks are great. So are the facts. The art works well for the book but feels a bit overly digital for me.

I didn’t expect anything from this book, but I got quite a bit. On each page of this book, the reader is given a limerick, and at the bottom of the page the limerick is explained. For example, there’s a limerick about a trapeze artist who falls into the net. Below, it tells you about the first trapeze artist, and how his act came about. and how he died. Not from falling through the air by the way. The illustrations are bright and they’re lively, but there’s just a little something that does not appeal to me. At times it almost feels more like student work than professional artist. However, they do a great job of doing panel by panel for the illustrations and overall, this book was a pleasure and an interesting read.

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
This book is a collection of random topics presented in limerick form followed by a paragraph that expands on the information. The limericks are simple in nature and the informational paragraphs are written simply. One issue is that the topics are random and seemingly without connection. I did learn about topics I had never heard of before.
This is a good book for young readers and anyone interested in trivia information.
