We're so excited to be adding our comic ‘Bongo Blows His Top’ to the Reading for Fun game! ‘Bongo Blows His Top’ is a story about BIG feelings and how to manage them. Created with consultancy from Dr Angharad Rudkin, a Child Clinical Psychologist, this wonderful comic explores the feelings you get when experiencing anger, helping children identify their own feelings and sharing strategies to help deal with those tricky feelings. 

As well as all the more practical elements, having comics in Reading for Fun adds another genre of reading to the richness of our game, exposing kids to all types of text. As a person with a passion for illustration and someone who leans towards the more visual side of learning, comic books still make up part of my regular reading material, allowing the enjoyment of the art AND reading at the same time.

Whether your kid is a visual learner or not, they'll love this. So tell your Reading for Fun fan that we’re adding a new comic for them to put on their monster’s bookshelf, and get them to share it with you when they do… I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a great addition to our game.

The 'Bongo Blows His Top' comic gets delivered to your monster’s house from the third day in the game, and is being released as an in-app event on Apple, which runs from April 1st to 30th 2025. The free comic also goes into the Google Play, Amazon, Amazon Kids+ and web versions of the game.

Get Reading for Fun on the Apple App Store today!

Keep an eye on our social posts, as we'll announce when this has been added so you can make sure to update the game and get this comic!

If you'd like a preview of 'Bongo Blows His Top', you can download the full comic from our 'Comics' area in our Learning Resources.
