Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Garfield & Co. #7
Jim Davis · 2013
66/100
👎 Skip It
A short, cheerful holiday graphic novel that delivers a mild lesson about generosity without overstaying its welcome. The Garfield brand keeps it reliably safe and fun for young readers, but at 32 pages with a predictable arc, it is more a branded impulse buy than a standout read. Fine for a stocking stuffer, thin as a lasting gift.
