Dear Kazu Kibuishi: Please take more of our money
Mr. Kibuishi,
I don't know what your books are about. I don't know the story line and what parts I've heard I don't even get. ( To be fair my kids can't tell a story without interrupting each other so...)
All I know is this: three out of four of my kids refused to read a book that had more than 100 words total until they discovered the Amulet series and now they anxiously await new ones to hit the shelves. They sit up nights reading and rereading and pretending to be asleep and then sneaking flashlights into their beds so they can read their favorite parts over again. These books have gotten them reading. Like Apple Core bookmark filling reading. (You may never have heard of that but its a thing and it matters to them and their teachers.)
So please write more of these books and then take my money. The kids are waiting.
Thanks in advance,
Mom
