The Many of Adventures of Johnny Mutton is a graphic novel written and illustrated by James Proimos. This book is a series of stories chronicling the tales of Johnny Mutton, a sheep who arrived on the doorstep of Mamma Mutton. Proimos uses vivid illustrations to portray Johnny's childhood and how he was different from most of his peers. The book is broken up into six chapters, each with a different story about Johnny, his mother, and the wisdom she tries to impart him with along with the quirks what make him different.
I would use this book in the classroom to help show students a different type of writing. I would ask them to create their own type graphic novel. This activity would promote creativity and let their imagination go wild. I would want to show students that you can still create a plot line with developed characters and setting in ways other than a formal narrative.
