If you can get through this book without at least one audible "awwwww!" you surely are not human. (Jellaby shuffling super fast through the leaves gets me every time.) Such a perfect read for younger graphic novel'ers. I can't wait for the next one. Sir. Kean is someone to watch.

I've been waiting to get my hands on a copy of this for a long time. Yay Jellaby!

This graphic novel just didn’t have any sense in my opinon.

Yes, Jellaby is a very cute creature, but did we get to understand him even just a little bit? No

The other two characters in this novel were really annoying.

Nothing more to say about this one.

I don't know. It has barely circ'ed at the library, I haven't been able to get anyone in my Graphic Novels club into it, and I myself found it a bit of a snore. I will bet that mine is a minority opinion though - I can SEE what's appealing about it, and I especially like the artist's line... just didn't click with me.

Auugggh I can't get over how cute Jellaby is!!!!!
Also, this book ends on a total cliffhanger. It's really like half a story. So make sure you have the second book right nearby to read when you've finished.
