COPY ISBN
Gr 2—5—Two books based on the comic strip and television cartoon character. Each title contains three stories that feature Garfield; his owner, Jon; Odie the dog; and Nermal, the kitten next door. As in the comic strip, the main jokes revolve around food, naps, and Jon's attempts to woo his girlfriend Liz. A few delusions of grandeur are thrown in for good measure, including a turn as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh in The Curse of the Cat People. The stories are just long enough to captivate the interests of reluctant readers, especially those who are already big Garfield fans. The bright illustrations are reminiscent of cartoon television series and will also have great appeal.—Kathleen Meulen Ellison, Sakai Intermediate School, Bainbridge Island, WA
