Delightful! Love the inclusion of the folktale element of "mistaking the moon." Also enjoyed the fact that the name "Planet" was from the author's life.
Easy-to-Read Comics for Emerging Readers! This is the first time I've experienced this genre. It's wonderful. It can help an emerging reader feel like they just read an entire graphic novel.
This one is especially nice as it encourages a child to think of a single member of a single species holistically, as part of the planet, not just an individual animal.
Published by Toon, I think this is Art Spegielman's company.

So good! Some of Liniers' work is too creepy (like [b:What There Is Before There Is Anything There|20578701|What There Is Before There Is Anything There A Scary Story|Liniers|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1393959359s/20578701.jpg|39847125], but his Toon books are just perfect. This story is based on his youngest daughter, their doggo, and her stuffed deer named Planet. Inanimate-objects-come-alive is pretty well-trodden territory, but when done well it's not really a trope I tire of. I like Liniers' pen and watercolor illustrations, and his style of drawing people vs. the environment made for a fun mix of cartoonishness and realism.
Planet, a stuffed animal, wants cookies. It manages to get to them, but a mouse tempts it to go for the biggest cookie ever.
This is cute: not as cute as it's trying to be, but cuter than those Benny and Penny ones. I liked the wordless panels, and the relationships between Planet, the little girl, and the dog. I'd be interested in checking out his other books, if my library gets them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this, it's just not amazing. 4+
