I was quite satisfied by this book that mainly talks about the use of graphic novels and other visual aids in the classroom to improve comprehension instruction as well as critical literacy. Most of the articles are scholarly, while there are a few which suggest useful activities in the classroom. One of the things that I thought were helpful were the number of new literary concepts that are important to literacy and that I ignored, such as anime, picturebooks, manga, the differences between the comic book anf the graphic novel. I didn't know that there was a difference between a picturebook and a book with illustrations. The book gave me many new insights in litercy instruction that I ignored. If you want to explain the use of visuals or graphic novels in the classroom with theory and research, this is the book. However, what we may find more useful are the suggested strategies.
