Did you know there are
WordGirl comic books? Despite being a big fan of the cartoon series, I had no idea there were any comic books until I saw them yesterday while I was searching for some other book. There are four comics that were published back in 2011 by Boom! Studios and at that time I wasn't reading any books by the publisher (but I am now) which is probably why I didn't know anything about these books.
I love watching the
WordGirl animated series, how can you not like a superhero who loves to read? Becky Botsford and her trusty sidekick and friend Bob the monkey protect the city as WordGirl and Captain Huggy Face. She uses her intellect which includes her vast vocabulary coupled with creativity and her superpowers to stop all these crazy zany villains causing trouble.
I plan on buying and reading all four books but for now I only bought
WordGirl: The Incredible Shrinking Allowance and I will post it when I get it.
