Eight short comics about recess, each drawn by a different star of children's comics, so the art and the humor shift completely every few pages.
Every story in here is about recess, and every one is by a different big name in children's comics. Dav Pilkey, Raina Telgemeier, Dan Santat, Jarrett Krosoczka, Gene Yang, and Ursula Vernon each turn in a few pages: a recess that gets away from everyone, a fudge with strange powers, quick cameos from Babymouse and Lunch Lady. New artist, new style, new joke, every time you turn to the next one.
Each story is short and finishes fast, so a reluctant reader hits a stopping point every few pages instead of staring down one long book. And because eight artists all draw the same idea, your child gets to see how differently people make comics: one loose and goofy, one polished and neat, all about recess. If one style grabs them more than the rest, that's a new author to go track down. Most of these have whole series of their own.
