I Like To Read Comics: Five Magic Rooms

Have you ever been to a house with a Gem Room? Or a Bubble Room? Or a Yarn Room? No? Then come with Mia to her friend Pie's home, where everyone wears costumes, cacti grow up to the ceiling, and there's a hedge mage in the back yard! Critically acclaimed comics artist Laura Knetzger pens a sweetly inventive story for beginning readers that not only introduces the senses and basic sense words ('shiny,' 'soft,' 'fuzzy'), but also primes children for their first visits to friends' homes - and encourages them to appreciate the differences between their family and others.
