Trasler, Janee. Figgy & Boone: Best Brother Ever! Simon Spotlight. 2022. 978-1-665-91449-9. $17.99. Grades K-2.

Figgy is a mouse, and Boone is a rat. Figgy really feels that they are brothers, even though Boone reminds him that they technically are not. Figgy pulls other rodents into the equation, asking if they are his brother, but Boone always tells him no. When a cat is brought into the equation, readers learn that sometimes family is more than just what species you are!

THOUGHTS: The development and description of how graphic novels are to be read is extraordinary in this book. As an Early Graphic Novel, the book explains the definition of sections, what items mean, and how to read graphic novels. A very well done development for early readers to learn.
