Petro and the Flea King

From an award-winning childrens book author and illustrator comes a wordless graphic novel full of whimsy tradition and fun for all ages. Petro the lazy boy goes on an out-of-this-world adventure as he tries to save a small town from the torments of the Flea King and his minions.Readers Favorite: I loved the eloquent and expressive illustrations and especially appreciated the genesis of the rascally Flea King and the almost post-apocalyptic flavor his rise to power gives to the work. This creative and imaginative graphic novel works on so many levels and while it cant really be read aloud Id venture to say that just about any kid would have a lot of fun narrating what is happening on each page. Petro and The Flea King is most highly recommended. --- 5 Stars Jack Magnus for Readers FavoriteOftentimes when we read about beautiful and robust fantasy fiction we are often taken into deep forests where all the wonderful majestic dragons and wizards reside. Those places seem so far and yet so close as they are typically wrapped in a book we keep on our night stand.Ken Lamugs Petro story bridges what we know as fantasy into the Philippine narrative merging it with the reality of the countrys provincial life. --- Jean Marie Munson Founder Plot Twist PublishingI think any adult would get a kick out of reading this with a little kid. The setting is definitely an opportunity to get children to explain in their own words what is going on.
