review:
'March Grand Prix: The Fast and the Furriest' by Kean Soo is a fast-moving win for young graphic novel fans. The characters are all talking animals and the art is fun.
March Hare is a racecar driver from a multi-talented family. In the first story, he's on his way to a big race at Harewood, where he hopes to meet his hero, Alan Tuttle, who is a 3-time world champion. His mechanic and pit boss is Hammond Pork Chop, and his main rival for this story is Lyca. When March has a mishap on the track, his family pulls together to help March succeed.
The second story is called 'The Baker's Run' and has March trying to help his sister delivery baked goods with the help of Hammond. The problems arise when the delivery van isn't fast enough for March and the baked goods are too delicious for Hammond.
The collection closes out with another racing story, serving as a good bookend to the collection. The characters are great in this book. They are drawn well, and have unique and interesting personalities. March's family is supportive and they all pull together in a crisis. This would be a good recommendation for early elementary readers. I really enjoyed it.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Capstone Young Readers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this delightful graphic novel.
