This was a silly book. It's told in prose. It's supposed to be like a "Nite before Christmas" story. "Twas the nite before Christmas, and all through the tower, not a Titan was stirring, not at this early hour." You know . . . . yada yada yada. Anyways it a battle with Mumbo Jumbo, and Silkie ends up with Mumbo's magical hat by accident. Very silly story, but exactly what you would expect from this book. This is a great book for kids. My nephew can barely read, or he doesn't really like to. But he loves to read these books when I buy them for him. Hey . . . reading is reading. The more he practices the better he'll get. No matter what the source. So I say, more power to these books. Especially if it brings young readers into the comic fold. We have to perpetuate this medium somehow.
