Lions, tigers and bears, volume 1: Fear And Pride by Mike Bullock. Image Comics, 2006.

Recommended to my by an 8 year old patron, i read the first in the series. Publisher recommends for all ages, but this is clearly geared for juveniles- young kids. Joey is a lonely and fearful child who feels different than the other kids. Only his Grandma understands him and she tells him he has special powers and sees and feels things others do not. Grandma is special too. Joey 's parents, who we never see, move and he must leave grandma, so grandma gifts him with 4 protector stuffed animals. Joey soon finds out there is a whole world most of us do not see-- and ends up on the other side in a Narnia type place where stuffed animals are alive and Joey must overcome his fears to help them and him get back. All the classic adventure fiction threads in graphic form accessible to young readers. And i know an 8 year old who LOVED it. That'

s enough  for me to recommend it to kids but lets be very clear that there is nothing for adults or older kids here.
