Graphic Novels

bubbling with ideas…
Stories for 3 to 6 year olds
Pictures and words
hold the power to express and ignite ideas. And the
value of inspiring young readers to engage with the
world around them, develop their thoughts, feelings,
unique identities – and their own forms of expression
– is as important now as ever.
“The art of telling and reading –
depicting and interpreting – a narrative visually
is not only important, but is also integral to
human development.”
Valerie Coghlan
“Visual literacy is a skill for life as well as a
gateway for endless pleasure.”
Wendy Cooling
“Comics are the perfect invitation for kids to awaken
a love for reading pictures and words and exploring
the vivid storyworlds both can conjure.”
Paul Gravett
Collected here is the complete Walker catalogue of
picture-strip stories, comics, graphic novels, graphic
novellas, retellings and classic tales for readers of all
ages, tastes and abilities.
