What is a comic book? What makes a comic book different from other forms for story telling? On Wednesday, we learned about comics and had the opportunity to make our own. Campers were introduced to classic books such as Calvin and Hobbes. The younger campers were read Elephant and Piggy by author, Mo Willems, who using the comic book format to tell his stories.
