Hilda and the Troll: Hilda Book 1 (Hildafolk) Paperback – December 1, 2015

What a great story. Beautiful illustrations. My daughter loved it.

What a wonderful book that models many valuable traits for children, including:- curiosity- bravery- kindness to animals- creativityAs Hilda and other characters gather information from the radio, books, maps, and the world around them, they pursue adventures, make art, and connect with other characters. Additionally readers have their own map to look at and can use the pictures to decode parts of the story. Readers can also find hidden mythical woodland creatures. They might also discover tiny pixies wandering about.My six year old is transfixed as we read this together. He loves the Moomin books and myths, so this book is right up his alley. It also has him excited to start recording his natural observations as drawings, which has me thrilled (fine motor and science magic!).Highly recommended! One little thing to note: the book has a giant say, “Damn it.” Some families may have issues with that.

Such a cute graphic novel. The art and colors are really beautiful and the quirky creatures make me laugh. I felt so cozy reading this book, it really just makes your day better by reading it. It can be read by adults and kids and both will love it just the same. I also enjoy the material of the paperback novel, it's different than what most graphic novels are printed on but I think it gives it a nice rustic feeling. Only thing I wish is that it was longer! I just wanted to keep reading it!

What a sweet little book. I love the illustration style and the seeming depth if the world. Hilda is a brave little girl with a big heart. I would love for my daughter to grow up like her. I think I like these books more than she does.

Very entertaining for my friend’s 8 year boy. He even started drawing the characters in the book.

Luke Pearson has an incredible vision which shines through in his beautiful artwork and world building in this series of graphic novels. This first one is the shortest and I recommend picking up the second and third along with it. You will not be disappointed.Parents: There is one use of the word "damn" in this first issue which my wife and I censored for our 6 year old (yes I know, shame on us, but we don't need her running around repeating that, haha). But aside from that one very minor note, this series is amazing for a young reader with an active imagination. She absolutely adores the stories and characters! I love them too!

I was looking for a comic book that my daughter and I could read together as her first comic. I read a ton of reviews and came across this book and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I was shocked to see the Netflix sticker on the front and found out that they made a cartoon based on the book and we loved watching it after reading this. We read it all the time now.If you are looking for your kids first comic, especially if it's a girl, then you have found the book.Thanks

These stories are amazing. The art in beautiful. The author created a beautiful magical world with great stories.
