Book Review: Word Play by Chuck Whelon

Word Play #1 Book Cover Word Play #1
Chuck Whelon
Dover Publishers

This fill-in comic book contains over 60 "contextualized" comics ready to be filled in.  The pictures are black and white and contain about 4-8 speech bubbles per comic sequence.  These can be described as mildly funny.  This is a great resource to be used for teaching kids to look at the background drawings and characters to infer the setting in which the story takes place.  The characters can say anything at all, as long as it makes sense.  Some scenes contain multiple characters with different speech bubbles.

We rated this a 4 because the pictures don't jump out at readers and they need to focus to see the whole picture.

Another great book by this author:
