A Real Winner!

I bought this book for our school library collection. Our kids love these books to death--I have several in sad shape to prove it! This came right in time for them to enjoy during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Boy, did they ever! The comic book format really appeals to them, and having the print version allowed them to see the storyline, even if it wasn't in video format. The Halloween adventure at the beginning of the book was a pleasant surprise when I found that the deleted scene from the DVD was included. It is the part where Garfield and Odie are getting ready to come in the house but find they have been followed by the ghosts since Garfield swiped a ring from their chest. The kids had never seen that part, and were delighted to see something new. Several of the kids had never known there was a Thanksgiving special (and yes, that includes me) so they were pouring over that section as well. They really got a charge out of Grandma with her power tool "utensil" (chain saw) used to carve the frozen turkey. And last, but not least, the Christmas portion of the book seemed to be the students' favorite. Something about Garfield and gifts under the tree seems to draw the kids in. If you have a reluctant reader, this is definitely a good book to purchase. The comic book format will keep them interested in what is coming. And if you love Garfield, this is a must have!
