The Donner Party (Disasters in History) 2 reviews
Scott R. Welvaert
Capstone Press, 2006
Graphic History Book for Children
The graphic library is wonderful for my ESOL students and many other students will love them too. I found this book one of the most exciting of the whole series but maybe because I am not as familiar with the story. It is about the Donner Party who traveled across the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada without heed to the weather. They were trapped in the mountains during winter and that ...

Winter at Valley Forge (Graphic History) 1 review
Matt Doeden
Graphic Library, 2005
A Graphic History for Children
This is a great book to use with ESOL students or other students who need help understanding the American Revolution. I find them interesting myself and learn from them too. The books are straightforward and interesting. The graphic form is in color and easy to read. Great for students learning to read in English and having to learn American History too.

Spider-Man: Hobgoblin Lives (Spider-Man) 5 reviews
Roger Stern
Marvel Entertainment Group, 1998
The excellent conclusion to a long-running mystery.
Ever since Roger Stern introduced the villainous Hobgoblin in the early 1980's, his true identity has been a mystery to Spider-Man and readers, and even other writers. After he left, another writer took a guess and "revealed" his identity. Only problem is, he was 100% wrong. Now, 15 years after the Hobgoblin's introduction, Roger Stern is back, with three masterfully written issues. His ...

John Sutter And The California Gold Rush (Graphic History)2 reviews
Matt Doeden
Capstone Press, 2005
The Gold Rush!
This is a graphic book about Sutter's Mill and the Gold Rush. I use it with my ESOL students to teach American History. It allows students time to learn English and American History at the same time. The stories are made exciting and more interesting than a textbook which they can barely understand.

Lords of the Sea: The Vikings Explore the North Atlantic (Graphic Library: Graphic History)1 review
Allison Lassieur
Capstone Press, 2006
Vikings' Voyage to North America, Graphically
This is an interesting graphic history of the Vikings' discovery of America. I think that this book contains more details about the Vikings' discovery than most childrens books and is very interesting. The graphic history format is great for reading comprehension.

The New Warriors: Beginnings (Marvel Comics) (Thor)1 review
Fabian Nicieza, Tom DeFalco
Marvel Entertainment Group, 1992
The Best Series Ever
The New Warriors was a dream of Fabian's that he pushed till it came true. This book is a collection of their first appearance in the pages of Thor where they along with Thor take down the Juggarnaut. After that it's the first four issues of the New Warriors title. The first book of New Warriors in this collection is really just a throw together of forming the team quickly when they fight Terrax, ...

Amazing Spider-Man: The Saga of the Alien Costume (Marvel Comics)1 review
Tom DeFalco
Marvel Entertainment Group, 1991
The Venom Costume
This was a definitive point in the history of Spiderman comics. This graphic novel collection shows the origin and story of Spiderman's alien costume (which later became Venom, Spidey's arch nemesis). For any big Spiderman fan this is a must read, including not only the truth about his suit, but also such story lines as the first appearence of The Rose, and Mary Jane's discovery of Spiderman's ...

Capstone Press, 2006
over rated as an inventor & company
Although I am a complete supporter of anything that promotes the fun & health benefits of snowboarding to kids(hence the 1 star review), I am NEVER a proponent of misleading anyone, especially young influential minds, with incorrect information. Mr Carpenter did NOT invent snowboarding, and is misleading parents and children, all in the attempt to benefit his company. Burton attempts this on so ...
