The Yakari series of books published English by Cinebook is wonderful for children and adults alike. The drawings and method of presentation is simply beautiful and the stories are simple yet have a subtle serious message within them. My daughter loves Yakari and can't wait for the next installment. I feel the same!

This book is brilliant on two counts: The story of a young boy learning about the animals around him and his own abilities is simple but interesting reading to a 6yr old. The pictures (cartoon strip style) are just gorgeous. Buy this in preference to any comic style Ben10 book!

Franco-Belgian Comic Book Series
20 Sep 2008
By Marco Antonio Abarca
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The team of Job and Derib published their first Yakari comic book story in 1973. They have gone on to publish thirty three additional volumes and produced an animated television series. Their series has also been translated into seventeen languages. Yakari has finally become available in English due to the efforts of the British publishing company, "9th Cinebook". As of this review, they have published six Yakari volumes and hopefully they will be able to roll out additional volumes.
The Yakari series revolves around the adventures of a small Sioux boy who has the ability to speak with animals. In turn, the stories unfold around his encounters with North American animals. "Yakari and the Great Eagle" is the first book in the series and introduces the key characters, Rainbow his best friend, Great Eagle his totem and Little Thunder his pony.
The Yakari series is geared towards young children. It is successful because of the high quality illustrations that are so characteristic of the Franco-Belgian school of comic book design. The only downside is that the protrayal of Native American culture seems dated by today's standards. Hopefully, later volumes will come more into line with current values. Overall, this is a beautiful series of books and both parents and children will enjoy reading them. Recommended.

Hi,
I have purchased the complete collection for my daughter in the original version, French. She loved it and she knows now most of north american animals. Plus it is very positive for kids.
I buy this book now for my nephews in the US for spreading the good spirit of this series of comic books. I strongly recommend Yakari to parents and read the story to their kids. Videos are available too.
