4-6
As in Duffy's Nursery Rhyme Comics and Fairy Tale Comics, a variety of cartoonists contribute adaptations of stories, resulting in a unique collection of fables (mostly, but not all, from Aesop) told in a wide range of artistic styles sure to keep audiences enthralled. Included among the twenty-seven graphic storytellers are Charise Harper, George O'Connor, Vera Brosgol, and Liniers.

YA
The work of "Trench Poets" from WWI is brought vividly to life by accomplished cartoonists. This stunningly effective presentation does much to inform readers of the emotional and physical horrors of war. The volume's small format renders some of the detail difficult to decipher, but anything larger might be overwhelming. There's very mature content, especially in lyrics of soldiers' songs. Reading list.

K-3
In this fine companion to Nursery Rhyme Comics, editor Duffy has chosen seventeen tales ("Puss in Boots," "Rapunzel," and "Hansel and Gretel," among others) to be adapted by seventeen illustrators and cartoonists, including Raina Telgemeier, Brett Helquist, Charise Mericle Harper, and Jillian Tamaki. A wide range of tone and artistic styles result in a collection that offers something for everyone.
