K-3Toon Book series.
Toon Books continues its effort to attract new and reluctant readers through the comic-book format, using detailed and refined illustrations. Hayes supplies engaging stories about bullying and napping and how his diminutive teddy bear protagonist tries to avoid each. Patrick is adorable, especially when he's wet from the rain or "ROAR!"ing his little heart out.
