When I was a kid, I read lots of comics and eventually read some based on classic literature, too. I'm sure that comics helped me learn to enjoy reading and inspired me to read some of the originals later. When our kids were young, we used to buy them comic books based on
The Adventures of Asterix. They quickly became a family favourite. Asterix comic books have been translated in more than 100 different languages and dialects, so they're great fun if you're learning another language.
