Story and art by Jeff Ebbeler.

Molly doesn't want to clean her room; she wants to play. Before Molly can argue with her mom, they hear BOOM! BOOM! A giant toddler is on the loose! Molly watches dumbfounded as Jack picks up cows and plucks airplanes out of the sky all for fun. He even picks up Molly and pretends to fly her around. Vroooom! When his giantess mother calls him home, he gleefully dumps everything and turns to leave. Now it's Molly's turn to say: "Stop! This is a giant mess!"

I Like to Read Comics are created for kids just learning to read. Sequential art and simple text - and a powerful relationship between the two - are the perfect conditions for developing readers.
