+ This "I Like to Read Comics" is a great option for brand-new independent readers who are excited to try a graphic novel structure. Hoggy is ready to try his best at the baseball game--not only does he not give up when things get tough, but he also finds a creative solution to get the result he wants. An engaging narrative complete with comic-style speech bubbles, silly onomatopoeias, and a character who gets creative even when things don't go as planned.

- Some sports-savvy readers may be frustrated that Hoggy's solution to hit the ball might not actually work in a real baseball game...

*Who is this for? Beginning readers who are excited to try out a graphic novel structure, PreK-Grade 1.
