Wonderfully written with gorgeous art. A great modern take on Little Nemo and a beautiful little graphic novel. Wish there was more. ( )

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( )

This is where I confess I have never read Little Nemo before. But as a reader you really don’t need to have read the previous book since it follows the princess as she is getting a new playmate, a little boy named Jimmy who happens to have the middle name of Nemo. Jimmy doesn’t want to be called Nemo and he certainly doesn’t want to play with a girl. Of course they have adventures and he changes his mind about never going back to Slumberland. A fun read even if it was rather short and the illustrations were just beautiful. I think I’ll have to track down the original and give it a shot.

Beautifully illustrated children’s fantasy tale

I’m not familiar with the original Nemo comic strips but this homage is exquisitely and minutely illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez. Written by Eric Shanower, it is a lot of fun.

Nice Escher-inspired chapter in the middle. Thoroughly recommended to lovers of finely-executed work.
