A little too old for my grade 5 pupils though I will definitely use it with my grade 6s. I do think it lacks a few suggested activities.

This is a great idea for a creative way to present root words. It would be excellent to have some activities go with the cartoons. You could add an activity that incorporates the other words listed on each cartoon as a way to expand this unit.

Hi, I enjoy your work, but I'm confused. I have the grammar comics and both Poetry Comics, I'm not sure what I don't have. Could you help me with that?

Sure! The grammar comics are available are one set (called Grammar Comics! full version) and separately as Grammar Comics! vol. 1 and 2. If you have the full version you have everything on 1 and 2. If you only have vol 1 or 2, you need to get the other one. I have them up both way in case someone bought one volume and needed the other one later on. There are also two sets of vocabulary comics as well. Thanks!
