Wordless but holding amazing illustrations, this is a collection from a well-loved series, which opens up to a world of monsters, adventure, and cute corgis.

This collection includes all five of the Korgi graphic novels as well as several short adventures. Each of the five books begins with a short and entertaining introduction, which does happen through text...but those are the only words during the adventure. Each moment is brought across through very detailed and extremely well-crafted, black and white line drawings. These are more demanding on the eyes than the illustrations usually found in graphic novels, in so far that they take more time to take in and digest. And it's well worth the extra time, especially since these do carry the entire tale in every way.

This is sold for children but will also satisfy older readers and some adults. The story isn't fluffy and happy, but rather, packs fantasy and adventure. The monsters take a creepy lean, which fits right with the illustration style to make each one come across with that dark atmosphere of off-ness. There is a hint of gore without really going there completely (an eyeball pops out and flies away), and while this might bother more sensitive readers, others will find the edged fantasy just right. The main characters fight off the danger and land in some pretty sticky situations, which bring exciting action scenes. It is a positive read with promises of hope and even will bring smiles and cuteness at the right moments.

There is a list of characters with descriptions at the end, which I do wish had been shoved to the front of the novel, instead, but that's only a side thought. It's an exciting adventure with an unexpected lean toward darkish fantasy (think The Labyrinth), which is sure to grab more than just corgi fans.
I received a DRC and didn't expect the style presented in these pages but enjoyed it quite a bit. ( )

One of the singularly most beautiful, charming, joyous, and magical works of art I have ever had the pleasure of imbibing. Effervescent and vibrant, despite being black and white sketch and tells a rich story with depth and wonder without any words accompanying the pictures.

Pure magic for any age. ( )

The artwork is excellent, but the wordless story just wasn't up my alley. ( )

Sweet! I didn't know much about this book, so finding out it didn't have words was a surprise. I won't ruin any of the other fun surprises in the story, but I will say that these Korgi's are MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. Like Transformers, only fuzzy.

I want to read more! ( )

The artwork is lovely--it reminds me somewhat of Chris Riddell's work--and there's no dialogue to distract from it. The story is entirely in the imagery. And that story is good, but not great. ( )
