(2) K-3 I Like to Read: Comics series. Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino. This comics-style beginning reader offers a sci-fi take on sibling rivalry. Artist Lucy and inventor Nera live on the moon in separate halves of the same large house. One day the sisters, who “don’t get along,” both set their sights on picking the same Moon Blossom (Lucy to paint, Nera to study), which leads to an epic battle involving “flippity-flappy butterflies” and “creepy-crawly robot bugs.” Vibrant, chromatic illustrations match the kooky text, giving readers who need to work through some of the more demanding and less predictable words incentive to keep going. When a Galactic Groovy Green Goat that likes to “gobble up fancy flowers” shows up, Lucy and Nera call a truce to collaborate on saving the Moon Blossom. In the process, they learn that caring for the flower together and watching it flourish is more rewarding than fighting over it. This fantastical reader is a good choice for budding speculative fiction fans.
