This book was quite the nice surprise. Animal Jack is about a young boy named Charlie - joking, he's really named Jack who can turn into, what seems to be, any animal he chooses. Now, the story is set up so that everyone readily accepts this, and that is part of the charm. The plot concerns the sudden disappearance of the children of the town, something that Jack sets off to solve.The book is great because when the children start to disappear the feeling of menace is conveyed not only in the art...
Fun, original, good pace and beautiful art. This series does a good job trying to accomplish what it wanted t do. The only minus for me was the storyline/plot that was a bit too simple/light for my personal taste. But nonetheless a solid comic book for kids! Worth it!
Another super cute graphic novel. I enjoyed the story immensely and cannot wait to read more about Animal Jack, thank you for the opportunity to read this book!
Read in English.A comic I thought would be really cheesy and childish, but actually won me over, and quickly, with some great design and some really clever beats. Jack is a child who is friends with all the animals – because he can turn into every one, POOFing in a cloud of purple smoke from an elephant to a Tasmanian devil to a fly as and when he feels like it. He can even communicate his feelings this way, which is good as he never seems to speak. He lives on the edge of a forest that's being
Une bande-dessinée jeunesse très sympathique, pleine d’humour, rythmée et dont le personnage principal est assez atypique : muet, il ne s’exprime qu’en se transformant en l’animal de son choix. On notera la volonté de faire découvrir les animaux en donnant quelques anecdotes à leur sujet et le message écologique de l’histoire.A mettre dans les mains, dès 8 ans.
This graphic novel has a really interesting main character. Unfortunately, the story is juvenile and the resolution to the main conflict is facile and extremely unrealistic. The book also somewhat excuses and justifies the kidnapping of children, which is more than a little creepy.Jack is a kid who can transform into any animal he wants. He doesn't speak, but his part in the story is narrated by this little bug creature who's his constant companion. I don't know why Jack doesn't speak, and it ki...
Special thanks to NetGalley for a copy.Animal Jack by Kid Toussaint and Miss Prickly is a cute story about Jack, a kid who doesn't speak and has the ability to turn into any animal that he chooses. He has trouble making friends because of his abilities, though no one is outright mean to him. His parents pay him little attention, leaving him to explore the forest and play with the animals he finds there but when kids start disappearing, Jack is left to track them down and discover the magical cre...
My thanks to Europe Comics for a digital edition via NetGalley of ‘Animal Jack 1. The Heart of the Forest’ in exchange for an honest review. It was written by Kid Toussaint and art by Missy Prickly. It was translated from the French by Montana Kane.Jack is a typical school boy except for the fact that he never speaks, is followed everywhere by a flying bug (who does speak) and can turn into any animal he wants. His classmates, teachers and parents seem to take all this in stride, even taking him...
En farverig, munter og dyrerig tegneserie for børn.Vi følger drengen Jack på eventyr for at redde byen og dens indbyggere. Jack kan forvandle sig til alle slags dyr, og undervejs i historierne får man små fakta om de dyr Jack forvandler sig til.Historierne er overkommelige i længden og sværhedsgraden forholdsvist let, så børn ned til ca 10 år vil fint kunne læse bøgerne selv. Også yngre børn vil have glæde af bøgerne i kraft af de flotte illustrationer. Som voksen læser var jeg også godt underho...
Petite déception malheureusement.Le concept d'un petit garçon qui peut se transformer en différents animaux est très sympa. Les illustrations sont très jolies, colorées, mignonnes. L'ouvrage en lui-même est de qualité.Mais il y a un manque de fluidité entre les scènes, on a l'impression de sauter une page alors que non. Et bien que le message écologique "protégeons la nature"soit important à rappeler, c'est fait sans finesse. L'intrigue est ainsi reléguée au second plan. Le héro est également pe...
Très sympa. J'aime beaucoup cette idée de jeune garçon qui ne parle pas mais se transforme en animal. Et encore plus le fait qu'autour de lui, tout le monde trouve cela "normal". Il n'est pas mis à l'écart, on ne lui fait pas remarquer, c'est un petit garçon comme les autres, juste un peu différent !Merci à l'auteur d'avoir écrit Jack de cette façon :)
