My Imaginary Duck

My Imaginary Duck is the newest offering from I Can Read Comics, an early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers. Comics powerhouse Graham Annable introduces readers to Mavis and her best (imaginary) friend, Duck. The inseparable pair love nothing more than playing together, but soon discover that letting others into your world might just be even more fun.

My Imaginary Duck is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support success for children eager to start reading on their own.

“Readers will enjoy their own seek-and-find game as they try to spot Clyde in his many ingenious and physics-defying hiding places from page to page as Monique dutifully searches high and low. Clearly written fonts, large-format panels, and accessible vocabulary will make this a gratifying choice for elementary-schoolers on their way to independent reading. A rustic and comical scene of backyard playtime.” - Booklist

“This is a tale to build visual literacy and set readers on the path to becoming longtime comics fans...An irresistible playdate.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
