Tiny Tales: Shell Quest

Introducing I Can Read Comics, a brand-new early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.

When a little slug finds new friends in the backyard, she notices they look a lot like her...except they have shells! Maybe a shell is exactly what she needs to fit in—but finding one is a lot harder than it sounds!

Tiny Tales: Shell Quest is a Level Three I Can Read Comic, a more complex story for independent readers.
