‘Kampung Boy will put a smile on the face of everyone who reads it.’ The Age

Kampung Boy, Lat’s wonderful cartoon memoir about growing up in a Malaysian village, is featured in the latest edition of the New South Wales Department of Education English ebulletin for grades 7 to 12.

The ebulletin features great information on how this classic can be used in the classroom. Here’s a summary:

A brilliant autobiographical graphic novel, it is a fabulous book for Stage 4. It would work brilliantly for representing the self, narrative voice, representation and intercultural understanding.

Kids just love Kampung Boy. Our book trailer for it has now passed a monstrous 166,000 views on YouTube!
