Daisy Kutter

I read Daisy Kutter in one day and enjoyed it. It was a quick read and easy to understand with the pictures and dialogue in sequence. There is a good balance of pictures and dialogue where the reader can, on their own, discover what is happening. I could not help but admire the illustrations because they are so detailed and the features of each character remained the same throughout the story. (This is important when including illustrations inside a book.) I could see and feel the emotions of each character and could sense the intensity of each action scene because of how well the illustrations were drawn. Reading Daisy Kutter reminded me of when I read Archie comic books when I was younger. I was able to understand those short stories because of the pictures and dialogue supporting each other. I loved the whole train sequence where so much action took place. Once again, I could feel myself inside the story because of how well the illustrations brought it to life. Even though there was no words the majority of the time, I could still understand what was happening and experienced the effects with the pictures. The onomatopoeia was great! Just like in Acceleration, there is some language that may not be appropriate for younger students. Daisy Kutter is a book that is best suited for a more mature audience such as high school students. Even though we do not like hearing and using words such as bastard, damn it, and bullshit, high school students have a better understanding where they will not get too offended by them. Daisy Kutter is a great action filled book that mature audiences will enjoy.
