An adorable tale of a girl who is a little different than her peers and fears not fitting in. Ultimately she finds her nerve and becomes proud of the unique traits that she encompasses.

The illustrations in this graphic novel are colorful and fun. They are perfect for keeping your little one engaged. I'd probably recommend this book to the age group of 4-11. It's just the right amount of whimsical and heartfelt. I do wish it had been a bit longer, but ultimately it's just a bit longer than the ideal length for a bedtime story.

Thank you to NetGalley, Caitlin Rose Boyle, and Oni Press for allowing me the privilege to read and review this book!

WHAT A TREAT!! Spooky, fun and heartwarming all at once, this graphic novel was truly stellar and I'd highly recommend it not only to young readers, but also to those young at heart.. One can never hear often enough that it's alright to be different from other people and that those differences should be not only embraced, but celebrated. It's a book full of validation AND adventure, plus it's spooky on top of it all. If that wasn't enough, the wonderful story and characters are accompanied by stunning illustrations!

A huge thank you to Net Galley for giving me early access to this book in exchange for an honest review!

4.5 stars

I loved this book. So much. I want a copy to give to every bug-loving kid in a mile’s radius from me. This story follows Frankie, a “scary” fairy, who loves exploring and writing down her finds in her field journal. I loved the look into her journal spreads and what she learned from each creature.

Another thing I absolutely loved was the wholesome mother-daughter relationship in this book. Frankie’s mom is fully supportive of Frankie’s passions, and also addresses the importance of safety while exploring.

This art style is so exciting and happy! Any kid would love this book for sure. I loved it and I’m 20 lol.

Overall, Frankie and the Creepy Cute Critters is a wonderfully fun story about identity and being true to yourself.

‘Frankie and the Creepy Cute Critters’ was such a cute book. I absolutely adored the art style. This book was so much fun to read and I loved reading about Frankie’s adventure discovering new wildlife in her new town. I also loved that this book had little fact sheet about the different animals that Frankie discovers on her adventure. This was simply an adorable story.

Thank you to Oni Press for providing me with a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was fun and colorful and adorable. It had a wonderful message of not being afraid to be yourself and finding something you love to do. The illustrations were fun and beautifully done. Very enjoyable. Thank you Netgalley and publisher for letting me read this book.

I enjoyed this visually bold and extremely colorful graphic novel probably best suited for late-elementary school students. Frankie is starting at a new school, and on the first day, everyone shies away from her and says she's creepy! After school, Frankie explores the land around town and encounters animals that at first seem scary, but at second glance, are pretty cool! I loved that this book emphasized not judging people (or animals) by how they look or seem on the outside, while also hyping up animal science. Frankie's field guide pages are chock-full of fun facts about the animals she meets, which adds an informational aspect to this short, colorful book.

I loved this so so much!!! Everything about it was so cute, from the color scheme to the story itself!!! I definitely wanna buy this so I can put it with the rest of my cute middle grade graphic novels <3

4.5 stars

YES! I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was cute, fun and sends a positive message to people. I really loved how Frankie had the courage to stand up for herself even when she had been made to believe negativity about herself.

The illustrations are so full on. They are so colourful and seem to radiate throughout the whole book. I suppose you could day that they were overwhelming at first but I quickly enjoyed that factor. They are as bold and strong as Frankie turns out to be and I'm left wondering if that was the plan all along.

Highly recommend this.

Honestly what a sweet book! I loved the idea of Frankie and her mom, the relationship between them was adorable to see how they cheered each other up. I think a lot of children will relate to this and it teaches such an important message of perspective and perseverance, I think every kid should read it and I am eagerly awaiting Frankies next adventure.

Also the art style is amazing and beautiful. The illustrations tell so much of the story in such a clearly thought through way.

I got some vibes of Isadora Moon while reading this but in a more "mature" way.
Frankie is a not-so-typical fairy who gets bullied at school in her first day.
She likes science, field guides and explore nature.so we can expect parts of science and school issues in this comic. It felt rather short, given it's only 45 pages, but it looks suitable for younger readers; they will definitely feel drawn to the bright colours and possums and will learn about the uniqueness in being creepy.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this comic. It was so colourful and weird, but in such a way that it all made sense and made a whole. I loved the characters and the "Animals" I don't know if I could call them animals since they are so huge however they were so cute. This is a cute read for a younger audience as well especially due to it being so colourful.
I love the way the story is told and how the main character deals with the events in the story. It was really good!

Recommend!

Frankie is excited to meet everyone at her new school, but when her flower fairy classmates first see her big hair, bat-like wings and powerful enthusiasm, they label her "creepy" and won't spend any time with her. Rather than stay down about it, Frankie wanders out of town to engage in her favorite hobby, nature observation, and discovers that it's possible to be creepy and cute. Fun facts and adorable details pop out frequently in the bold colors that give everything a slightly Halloween theme. My personal favorite was the borker, a wooly bear caterpillar named Tuna.
This short graphic novel is very approachable for elementary students and offers a gentle reminder that you get to decide who you want to be, regardless of what your peers call you. I know some third-grade girls who won't be able to wait for more!

Received with thanks from Oni Press and Netgalley for an honest review. This was adorable and fun. I really liked Frankie and her mum. The art style is something right up my ally. I enjoyed watching Frankie's first day at a new school and her adventures with her wooley bear Tuna. This graphic novel was enjoyable and informative.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.

Frankie and The Creepy Cute Critters is a small 40 page comic about Frankie Fairy who moves to a new place with her mother. She is at a new school and is struggling to fit in so she turns to the creepy critters that she loves adding to her little field book. This is a comic about how one accepts themselves and how to embrace who they are. This is perfect for children3 but I also found that I enjoyed it a lot as it was a wholesome story and I think everyone can do with reading an accept yourself story.

What a sweet and fun story for young readers! Frankie is a friendly fairy who just wants to study wildlife and fit in. When the other students are afraid of her fangs and dark colors, Frankie will have to learn from the animals she’s studied to feel confident and comfortable.

I received an electronic ARC from Oni Press through NetGalley.
Frankie is a scary fairy who loves science. She and her mom have moved to a new town for her mom's new teaching job. The other fairies are not kind at school. Frankie then heads out to explore nature and add to her field guide. She has some up close experiences and learns more about various animals. After talking with her mom that night, the second day goes much better. She shares who she is and what she knows and challenges the class bully by proving she really had the experiences.
I like the science Boyle seamlessly slips in as Frankie explores. The characters are fun to meet and are relatable for elementary level readers. The drawings bring the characters to life and make the reader part of the story.

This book was a great graphic novel and I really enjoyed reading it. The theme, being yourself, no matter what obstacles you face, was valuable and it was such a great read! This book is perfect for readers ages 5-8.

A great comic for young children.
I think that this comic sends a great message to children about not being scared of people or things that are "different".
The graphics are really cute and the comic gets the message across clearly and quickly.
I also loved the page at the back that teaches children to treat animals and nature with respect.
An enjoyable and educational read.

Caitlin Rose Boyle has written a colorful and imaginative graphic novel, full of play and creativity. Recommended for a wide range of readers.

What a sweet book about embracing your differences and what makes you special! I loved the art and the message and i love this so much. Can't wait to hand this to kids.
