Blog Hop Day 4 - Ed's Journal by Jordan Crowl

I became aquainted with Ed's Journals when my friend and agent recommend I friend him.  I trust my agent explicitly.  When she recommends books to me she has had several recommendations from others.  I'm not just a writer but also a book blogger. So before I will recommend a book I must read and check it out first.  Jordan's books are simple graphic novels that run about 36 pages.  These are excellent books to teacher character education.  The most fascinating thing is the reader is given a choice to answer the problem that Ed faces.  Character qualities such as dependability, loyalty, and honesty can be found through simple drawings and examples in stories that children of all ages can identify with.  I loved these books and look forward to passing these on in the Freedom Giveaway Blog Hop.
