Comics are NOT read-aloud material

My son received a set of LOL Library Reading Club materials (poster, book and stickers) when his daycare class went to the public library yesterday. I mention this because my good friend Patricia Storms was contracted to illustrate the reading club material this year. Anyway, my son took his library card with him, and you want to know what books he got out? Remember he is only 6 years old. He got out one comic book about Sonic the hedgehog and one Anime graphic novel.

I had trouble readng these to him last night at bedtime.
Comics are just NOT read-aloud material.
My son loves anime. I dont. Most of the anime shows I see on TV are too violent. (Anime is available in books and on TV)

So what do you think of comics and graphic novels as reading material?

So proud of my son

Since I purchased my copy of Patricia's book 13 Ghosts of Halloween last week, and having read it to my 5 year old son at bedtime every night since then.....today my son decided that it was time for him to read to me. He read the entire book back to me with just a little bit of help.

I realise that he has memorised the words (and when I read the book, I cant help but sing the words, because the tune is so obvious), and he used the pictures to remember the actions, but still, he was reading, and he does love that book.

I have never been so proud of him as I am tonight.Thank you Patricia for the great pictures and a great book.
