Kitty feels utterly bored. She won't even play with Puppy, the drooling dog who shares her house. A nap seems like the only option until someone knocks on the door. Strange Kitty appears, ready to teach both Kitty and readers how to make comics. The visitor guides them through drawing exercises and comic techniques. Readers learn about panels, sound effects, visual tricks, and word balloons. The book works for kids who already draw well and those who need to start from scratch. Strange Kitty makes comic creation accessible through step by step activities. Kitty's boredom transforms into creative discovery as she explores this new artistic world.
