The Picks:

Wait A Minotaur GN (I Like To Read Comics) – Holiday House releases an action-packed comic for early readers. It’s Nick’s and Gus’ first day at a new school. Nick’s not sure how to find their classroom, but the easily excitable and impatient Gus knows just what to do. He grabs Nick’s hand and charges straight into the building! Running through science class, dancing along with band practice, and bouncing around the gym seems fun, until they end up in the boiler room, lost. They don’t know where to go now, but Nick knows what to do: Wait a minute, calm down, and retrace their steps back to their classroom. The hilarious and slapstick illustrations will resonate with young comic readers and parents will love the subtle lessons of patience and critical thinking. This title is a must for any graphic novel collection.
