Reviews
“A massive hit in this house. My 6 year old is learning to read and it’s fair to say Jack Scratch is helping him enormously. He’s read both books over and over since we received them this week and he loves the characters. We’re hoping for a third!” ~ a Kiwi parent
“Third copy I’ve bought now. Love this book, bought it for my son first, then my niece, and now another wee friend: cats who are pirates and a kraken, what could be better? The illustrations are amazing and it’s just a great story.” ~ a Kiwi parent
A note from the creator
Comics are cool, we all know that! And comic books are FUN!
If something is fun for children, they will do it again and again!
Comics are a great way to engage young children into a real love of books. They are interesting and exciting and help develop their imaginations. Comic books really do offer a lot for children. You don’t necessarily need to be able to read to enjoy a comic book, which is great for young children and also children that have trouble reading due to issues like dyslexia.
