Mo and Jo Fighting Together Forever: Toon Books Level 3

Came on time, as expected. first grade grandson loves this reader.

My 6 year-old son loves this book.

Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. We're big fans of Jay Lynch and would recommend also purchasing Otto's Orange Day.

In this Toon Book (a series of comic books aimed at younger readers), Monica and Joey are twins who argue over just about everything. One of the few things they agree on is that the Mighty Mojo is the greatest superhero ever. One day their mailman shows up with Mojo merchandise the kids ordered. As they argue over who is the biggest Mojo fan, their mailman reveals a secret: he's really Mojo. However, he's gotten old and is tired of crime fighting. He decides to retire and he gives the kids his Mojo suit which contains all of his superpowers. Monica and Joey are ecstatic until they start arguing again and end up ripping the suit in two. Their Mom comes to the rescue. The ripped costume can't be repaired as a whole, but she's able to salvage the two ripped halves of the costume into two separate costumes. Thus Mo and Jo are created, each with only half of the Mighty Mojo's superpowers. Mo has stretchy arms and Jo has magnetic feet. However, they can't stop fighting, not even when they try to save the city from the evil Saw-Jaw.MO AND JO FIGHTING TOGETHER FOREVER is an entertaining children's graphic novel. It's kind of like THE INCREDIBLES with a twist of THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, but with sibling rivalry. It makes a good book to get kids interested in comics as well as a book that young kids who are reluctant readers might enjoy.

Toon Books are a new set of graphic novels aimed at the emerging reader. They are written and illustrated by professional artists/authors and are wildly intriguing for the young reader. My son who is reading at a Gr. 2 level enjoyed these immensely. The three I am reviewing are the second and latest set (Aug. 2008) to be released.Mo and Jo: Fighting Together Forever by Dean Haspiel & Jay Lynch is again for the more experienced reader, divided into chapters and is the highest reading level of the lot, approx Gr.2-3. My struggling reader had some difficulties with the vocabulary but with a little help from Mum and Dad he was eager to read the super hero story. With both a girl and boy character this should appeal to both, though I think boys are going to love this one for sure. Every boy's dream of becoming a superhero comes true when Mo and Jo's mailman comes to their house and admits that he is the Mighty Mojo but he is retiring and would like to give them his costume which contains his powers.As a parent I was thrilled with these enticing books that held my reluctant reader's interest and kept him reading page after page without any pressure from mum or dad to just try and read one more page. In fact we all liked them so much I've ordered the first three for Christmas presents this year and look forward to the next books that will published next year. These 'early readers' are a fabulous use of the graphic novel format.

Joey and Mona are typical siblings. They argue - a lot. They fight over the video game controller - a lot. They make fun of each other - a lot.There's one thing they can agree on, though. Mighty MoJo is the most awesome superhero ever. And when they discover the secret behind MoJo's identity, and are given his superpowers to fight evil, you'd think the arguing between Joey and Mona would stop.But it doesn't, until they realize they'll have to work together to use MoJo's powers to protect the world.MO AND JO: FIGHTING TOGETHER FOREVER is the perfect book to introduce children to comics and graphic novels. My daughter, who is almost eight, loves the format of these types of books, but since they're usually written for older teens, the content isn't always appropriate. This one was perfect for her, and, as the younger sister of a nearly-teen brother, she could perfectly relate to the storyline, as well.A great book with wonderful, full-color illustrations, you don't want to miss this one!Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"

Mo and Jo are Mona and Joey, a brother and sister who love the same superhero, Mojo, but who can't seem to get along. When Mojo retires and gives the siblings his suit and powers, they have to learn how to work together. This book, too, was in chapters. I felt that this one was a little more preachy than the others, but I think it would work for the intended demographic - kids.TOON Books are stories in comic book form for young readers. The series advisor is Art Spiegelman, author of the well-regarded Maus graphic novels. Each of the books is recommended for children ages four and up and children in kindergarten through second or third grade. I love this idea of introducing children to the comic book/graphic novel form and enjoyed each of the books. I highly recommend them for the intended age groups.

Quoi de mieux qu'une bd facile a lire pour motiver nos enfants en anglais ? Mon fils de 10 ans arrive à le lire seul, il fait de l'anglais depuis le cp tous les jours et maintenant il peut lire des textes relativement simples tout seul.
