The Big Wet Balloon: Toon Level 2 by Liniers
5.0
Liniers, R. (2013). The big wet balloon. New York, NY: TOON Books.
The Big Wet Balloon is a graphic novel for early readers about two sisters having an adventure outside on a rainy day. Matilda tries to teach her little sister Clemmie about how to have fun in the rain, and then must make up for “giving” Clemmie’s balloon to a rainbow. The simple story and illustrations are a good introduction to graphic novels or comics and would be enjoyable to share with young readers.
Written at a 1st or 2nd grade level, this book would make a perfect read aloud to introduce the graphic novel genre to primary students. Its simplicity would make it easy to model how to read graphic novels and would get students interested in the genre. The subject matter of rainy days and family would be good for discussion with Pre-K or Kindergarten students.
